"Europe is free now"

I guess Musk has never heard of Ukraine, or Belarus. Nor does he understand the history of the service, or history in general apparently.

Musk has previously advocated for the submission of Ukraine to Russia: https://www.npr.org/2022/10/04/1126714896/elon-musk-ukraine-...

Musk is an authoritarian by nature. Here's an interview with Kara Swisher on his radicalization and his efforts to dismantle the US government: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xXLycFv5Gc

The last time Russia imploded it wasn't at war. If Russia implodes now Ukraine and Poland will take Moscow.

A lot of people like Musk really don't want those guys digging through the Russian FSB Archives.

> Ukraine and Poland will take Moscow.

Why?

What would be the point?

It's easier to make a list of things Musk DOES understand, and my word it's a short list. Politics, ethics, international relations, the value of soft power... would not be on the list.

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

Free Speech Absolutist Elon?

Free Speech Abolitionist

It's how he runs Twitter: https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/03/musk-shows-us-what-actua...

Communist Russia fell three decades ago. America pushing government propaganda is not a good look for encouraging freedom and democracy. About time we cancel these no longer useful programs.

Communist Russia was replaced with a fascist Russia of another flavor. It's different but also very similar.

Government propaganda IS fascism. Let people be free.

You need to read up on what fascism is.
