Elon has a &#8220;plan&#8221; to end the Ukraine War &#8212; do a deal where Russia keeps part of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Meanwhile, he is hogtieing Ukraine by selectively cutting off their access to his satellite communications company called Starlink, which Ukraine&#8217;s military uses intensively. By cutting them off, Musk stopped Ukraine from destroying some Russian warships. That&#8217;s a nice\u00a0 present from Musk to Putin, whom he talks to!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I repeat Musk talks to Putin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Musk is running his own State Department in competition to the one we have in Washington.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">He is also allowing (encouraging?) Twitter (now called X) to post vicious anti-Semitic material. It&#8217;s really awful stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I used to admire Elon&#8217;s creativity. He&#8217;s self-made. He&#8217;s the richest man in the world, with huge tech advances under his belt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But now, I&#8217;m dismayed and disgusted. Thoroughly disgusted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">He was once one of my heroes.
