Who's got "Musk blackmailed by Russia" on their bingo card?

I have a self made, self admittedly a conspiracy theory that since most of Elons money came from stock trading that he used Russian bots to inflate his social media presence for his pump and dump scheems and then bought twitter to have control of the website and evidence it may hide.

That's a really good theory. #FBI

Once the guy who broke the news about how trump and putin communicated initially informed us about elon and putin I just started thinking about what they have to offer each other.

I hope they're reviewing his security clearances right now.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Except once Trump wins, he can override that review and order the clearance, just like he did with Jared

And trump wants him to be in charge of dismantling the federal government....

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Putin. Putin wants him to do that. Trump is just the puppet

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 14 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Trump doesn't have any policy goals, he couldn't care about any of that.

Trump's only wants are his base emotional needs: eat a hamburder, grope an unwilling child, be complimented, see others suffer. Anything more sophisticated than that is being done for someone who's giving him burders, babes or bribes.

I sure would like to see a FARA investigation into him now.

Two years ... so, around the time Russia invaded Ukraine, and Musk was having problems funding his Twitter purchase around the same time? Any takers on Musk laundering Russian money?

Someone look at Bezos.

Who could have seen this coming??

I wonder how safe Musk feels standing next to a hotel room window.
