Two quotes that made my hair stand on end:
Vance’s message couldn’t have been clearer: Our way, or we’ll join Putin in hybrid warfare to roil your domestic politics — something billionaire Elon Musk has already done by boosting the prospects of the far-right Alternative for Germany party.
Kuleba: “In Paris, he literally said, ‘Don’t try to compete with us on AI. Embrace our companies, remove all the obstacles, and then everything will be fine.’ … Then he came here, and after attacking Europe’s economic model, he attacked its political model.”

    Reminder that Politico is owned by Axel-Springer-Verlag, a very conservative, sensationalist, and manipulating German tabloid publisher. There biggest “newspaper” is the Bild-“Zeitung”, which is on the same level as the Sun or the National Inquirer. You probably shouldn’t read them, they propagate hate and culture war.
