    Russia doesn’t pay people for that sort of thing, especially not a person like Musk. Instead they extort. Possibly over rare materials.

    Anyway I don’t think Russia was part of Musks takeover of twitter, that stemmed from Musks own arrogant stupidity, but they certainly did become one afterwards.

      I was going to edit my comment to include blackmail / kompromat as well, which in the end I do find to be more likely.

          Possibly, but that wouldn’t be par for the course for them.

          Strange you seem to care so much in pushing against that. Quite curious.
