Seems to me that it’s mostly revenge; dismantling any government agency that has ever thwarted him, or that the right wing does not like. But, I certainly don’t trust his motives…

    He seemed highly focused on USAID initially. USAID is a means to assert soft power around the world through the influencing of hearts and minds.

    Elon’s strong ties to Trump combined with this focus reek of Putin’s influence to me. He’s doing Russia’s bidding in deconstructing our government.

    I think Musk is likely compromised in the same way Trump is. God, it must be some truly nefarious shit too.

        Musk isn’t compromised by Putin, there is nothing that Putin could have on him that would make any bit of difference. What Musk wants is to be the preferred rocket supplier for both the US and Russia. He already has the US, now he’s doing Putin’s bidding and will soon be building Starship launch pads in Crimea.
