... "He's a genius, a real genius," Putin said of Musk ...

Quelle surprise.

Pres Putin likely said that because Mr Musk is trying to own the US elections in order to put MAGA in control.

And MAGA seems to love Pres Putin.

I mean, just look at Pres Trump bowing down and being obsequious to Pres Putin.

If Musk was any character from the movie Real Genius it'd be Kent.

Musk is a traitorous, drug-addled fool.

@#4 ... Musk does Vlad a favor on Starlink, Vlad calls him a genius ...

Pentagon IG refuses to investigate Starlink/Starshield slowdown in Ukraine

Likely because the Pentagon IG does not want to have to report upon what actaully occurred and who might be behind it.

Elon musk is a strategic genius. He studies systems like the stock market or social media or politics and finds new ways to manipulate them.

It's a tragedy that he chose to use his talent for evil and he needs to be put away for that choice before he causes even more death and suffering than he already has.

Enron Musk seems to think the democrats are a bigger threat to democracy than Putin.
