Elon Musk, who faces a Senate probe for his role in hindering a 2022 Ukrainian attack on Crimea, seems to share David Sacks’ view against US support for Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
People have over and over again tried to apply some logic to Musk’s behaviour, but I have found that in most cases it ends up just being plain stupidity or ignorance at best.
He’s an innovator / dreamer / entrepreneur at best. I doubt he’s an engineer, scientist or any of that … he is a visionary, but he sure as hell didn’t figure out all the Tesla and or rocketry shit on his own, ppl/professionals helped him mostly. Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla figured out /and build shit on their own (essentially)… them folks are geniuses.
Even that is generous. He is good at buying others innovation and tying them to his brand. 2 years ago I would’ve said he was also good at his own PR (I was wrong lol).
Giving a nation the idea you may support an enemy. Is in no way a protection from that nation taking control of your assets. It is at best giving the nation the ability to rationalise the need to limit your own power.
After all dispite not seeing any reason why any corp in the US would be worried about current potential govs nationalising them. It just not something either of the main parties are fans of.
Its even less likely musk would see cooperation with russia as a way to prevent such a thing.
I mean siding with Trump, buying Twitter and the “free speech” people. This is the smoke screen so that he CAN defend Russia and make Biden wary of fighting back, because he now has the unconditional support of 30% of the country.
Not that aiding Russia is the prevention, I think it may be at least part of the goal.
While I hate to give the little shit the benifit of the doubt.
It is worth considering. That there are plenty of other people out their. Who truly think letting russia keep the ground they have taken. Is the best way to prevent the war continuing on.
I disagree because evidence is give russia an inch. And they will just wait until they build up again. And take your whole nation. They are just not trustworthy when it comes to peace treaties.
But plenty of folks are less untrusted (more stupid imho)
There is also more direct fiscal reason why he may want to discurage the US from supporting Ukraine.
If the war continues with the current US weapons spending on Ukraine support. Eventually the gov is going to have to raise money to do so. This drematically increases the risk that industries like his. Will lose some tax breaks or loopholes he uses.
His posturing politically may just be to protect himself from SpaceX and Starlink being nationalized.

Yeah, I fail to see how people consider him a genius when everything that comes out of his mouth is so ridiculous.

True. I won’t argue with that. 👍
