And I’ll say it again — Elon Musk owns a satellite internet company, Starlink, that should have absolutely nothing to do with any elections anywhere in the world.
Elon Musk is an openly hostile foreign agent actively attacking democracy around the world using his massive wealth, his personal communication platform, the help of hostile autocratic foreign governments, and now his direct influence over the new extremist United States Govt he helped put in power.
