He's still giving Ukraine Starlink for free. He'd be an utterly horrible Russian asset
- selcuka 4y ago> He's still giving Ukraine Starlink for free Paid for (at least partially) by the U.S. government [1]. You can't easily say "no" to your own government even if you are a foreign asset.

- mannerheim 4y agoGP didn't say which foreign asset. The Saudis are major shareholders in Twitter, although personally I doubt they're telling Musk what to do so much as being content to let him run it into the ground; it's a win for them whether Twitter under Musk succeeds or fails.
- niyikiza 4y agoI don't actually even remotely believe that he is a foreign government asset, but I don't think that's a good argument: giving Starlink to Ukraine is exactly one of the things that a Russian asset would do.
