If he just wanted money he would have asked (privately) and he would have gotten it. Instead he called Putin to talk about "peace" (read: appeasement) and then posts literal Kremlin talking points to Twitter and only mentioned getting money to maintain starlink after getting a ton of people telling him to fuck off.

Do you have proof of this call? He's refuted it in public.

He has access, has talked in the past, repeats kremlin talking points, threatens to withhold access to strategic technology from the kremlin’s victims, and then claims to not be involved when he starts taking heat for it. Musk is notoriously dishonest, I don’t know why his claims are seen as trustworthy given the surrounding context.

    "their conversation took place a year and a half ago." Pay attention to the details. A year and half ago he was not engaged in a conflict with Ukraine. Plenty of people send letters and or talk with heads of state. You think Bill gates hasn't spoken with numerous heads of state? Sure has, otherwise microsoft wouldn't have been in Russia, China, and other nations. So proof of this peace call is where? EDIT: I think you editing your post after being proven wrong is just as dishonest. Further your second post does nothing to help your argument. The kremlin will say what ever they need to for their agenda regardless. In this case they deny it and there is no way to prove it happened.
