Troy has a strong tendency to confuse “these two powerful people are expressing similar goals” with “these two powerful people are conspiring.” He’s doing the same thing here with Putin and Musk. Extraordinary claims require stronger evidence. What if Musk’s Twitter purchase was a somewhat frivolous whim that he failed to back out of? That’d also explain the current situation, but Troy doesn’t even examine it. Note that if Musk’s purchase was part of a sinister plan it makes absolutely no sense to risk it for the possibility of saving a few billion. Troy keeps papering over that whole flaw.
