Captain Mark Kelly has more honor, courage, & integrity than Musk, Trump, Vance, Rubio, the entire congressional Republicans, & the MAGA administration put together.

On R4’s Today the excellent @ciaranm.bsky.social took apart Musk’s claim Ukraine was behind a cyberattack that took down “X”. Also said it was shocking that a major online business could be vulnerable to something as crude as a Ddos. At least he has no access to sensitive government data - oh wait

This comes after Tesla’s share price has declined, the automaker has faced boycotts, and Tesla facilities have faced vandalism.
