        Yeah, well I am guessing he wasn’t talking to Putin about electric cars or Twitter.

        Starlink + Twitter = propaganda mills deliver him Ukraine

        How he launches those satellites has nothing to do with our exchange unless I missed something.

        I’m simply pointing out that any platform to influence public opinion and dialogue is likely of great interest to Russia. That’s kinda their schtick

        Edit: but yes I absolutely think it’s absurd that they didn’t pull his clearance and sanction him both directly and indirectly. It’s just that Twitter gives Putin an edge in having Trump elected, in which case Trump extracts retribution for ‘being caught’ by witholding Ukraine funding in an attempt to gather intel on Biden. If Trump wins he’s gonna want nothing more than to see Ukraine crushed. Putin wants Ukraine and it’s a very easy opportunity
