Elon Musk’s Secret Conversations With Vladimir Putin

[grunge]

Fair enough, I wasn't aware that Musk would need a security clearance to do whatever he thinks he is doing for Trump. I didn't think sanctions covered communication either, but I may be wrong.

The point about the Times report on government/FO discussions about the 115 is that it is almost certainly nothing dressed up with selected, or at the most charitable incomplete, out-of-context quotes. It could very well be the same with this WSJ article. That was all. Just trying to be consistent here: not putting down the Times article while getting excited about the WSJ article.

He might not need security clearance for his work with Trump but seeing as space x launches us military satellites and star link is also used by the US military he will more than likely be a security risk there. He’s already proven he is willing and able to manipulate starlink on a whim.

Will be interesting to see if space x is quietly dropped from launching sensitive military satellites now.

Almost as if handing over responsibility for key aspects of infrastructure to private individuals, corporations and 'philanthropists' rather than funding them from taxes is a bad idea.

Especially if that infrastructure controls the direction of missiles that may need to be launched ......DOH
