It's delusional to think either of them are agents of anyone but themselves. They don't have the motive or the discipline.
That's no to say they won't be useful to those countries (e.g. Musk plan to use unvetted twenty-somethings to backdoor the entire federal government must have foreign spy chiefs jumping for joy)
- A4ET8a8uTh0_v2 2y ago<< It's delusional to think either of them are agents of anyone but themselves. It is hard to understate this. I had odd conversations with both sides ( I am in a weird spot, because since I come from the old country, two party US system is edit: not internalized as a good way to describe leanings ) of US political spectrum and somehow both sides tend to miss it or rationalize it away ( edited ). If we agree that Trump/Musk represent some sort of threat to the system, then it is not because of conviction or some deep held belief they hold. What they believe is just what happens to benefit them at a time. That is almost the entirety of their positions. That, honestly, is the part that should be a concern. Everything else is just posturing.
