New details of the previously reported incident underscore how dependent the U.S. government has become on a company that once had to fight in court to become part of the Washington establishment.

    I think it’s too well-intentioned for Musk also.

    I really don’t believe that Putin would essentially end up destroying his own warships by dropping nukes to keep those same ships from being attacked by Ukraine. The whole point of leaving these activities to government is that they have much, much more information, real expertise and are able to actually make informed decisions. There is no way that Musk can make decisions that can even approach the level of those informed by the CIA, NSA, FBI, MI5, MI6, SIS and other 3 character agencies we don’t even know about.

    Even if Musk were on America’s side instead of just his own, the idea of him successfully managing foreign policy is as ridiculous as me successfully challenging Serena Williams to a tennis match. Musk has no business talking to Putin about American foreign policy or shutting off the Internet to interfere with Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, and IMO he should be arrested and tried for it. It should be and is against the law.

    My $.02, anyway…
