This kremlin whorehouse should be closed immedately

kenfinch.bsky.social•193 days ago

Sounds plausible. 🤔

Which of the companies named there are their vehicles?

The article is behind a paywall. I can't access it.

urheberulf.bsky.social•169 days ago

Maybe I saved a copy on my PC. I‘ll have a look later.

Thanks

“A different kind of VC firm.”True.

checkedout2.bsky.social•169 days ago

Anybody who stays on that site is supporting Russian propaganda. I don’t care what their excuse is. If nobody “just checked in”, it wouldn’t exist. There are alternatives.

miamichefpapi.bsky.social•194 days ago

No one is surprised Musk is a tool for someone…..

lafuca.bsky.social•169 days ago

Who put Prawag Agrawal there? Musk tried to rescue Twitter from pettiness.

sheltiedad.bsky.social•194 days ago

“Forced” doing a lot of work here.
Once again Elon’s hubris and incompetence combined to out his partners in the Twitter acquisition: the House of Saud, the House of Putin, and the House of Fidelity Mutual Funds

pcmoffatt.bsky.social•194 days ago

That's some line up. I looked for the names of Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich but did not see them listed in this article. It didn't mention Russian oligarchs either. Is there a different source for this info?

Thank you for sharing.

rickschmitz.bsky.social•194 days ago

Yeah, I can’t find any info to back this up. Upon reflection, I feel like Fortune would have led with this info if it were true. It sounds plausible, but it smells like misinformation.

hmm not the most reliable sources

unhipcat.bsky.social•194 days ago

and you can bet if he has Russian investors, he also has Russian people he’s feeding his analytics to.

unhipcat.bsky.social•194 days ago

i will say it again.
The US better not be relying on this guy for ANYTHING.
we better have alternative services and products already in operation or ready to go at the flick of a switch, or a means to take over whatever it is we’re paying him to provide.
he is concerned ONLY about himself.

meetzow.bsky.social•194 days ago

SpaceX basically runs the US space program now

frankhghtwr.bsky.social•180 days ago

well, we just tried to get Boeing as an alternative and... it didn't go well

catssimsbooks.bsky.social•169 days ago

People forget that the 1st 10 or so dragon missions were unmanned cargo deliveties, which gave them time to fix the issues. Boeing only made a couple cargo flights first, which was obviously not enough.

lilacliz.bsky.social•193 days ago

Well I never! Perhaps Melon Husk is a Putin puppet. Now there's a thought I had some time ago.

One election and done musk promised Americas enemies he would give trump election

waterloo45.bsky.social•194 days ago

SpaceX is a national security risk musk loves Putin hates America

trans.bsky.social•194 days ago

screw it if this line of cold war ass argument causes the federal government to finally act against the richest man on earth then fine

trans.bsky.social•194 days ago

i'd maybe give a shit if the USSR still existed, but it doesn't & the puppet the US installed is a bigoted monster who went rogue so 🤷‍♀️

victoryrenfrew.bsky.social•169 days ago

Wtf are you even talking about?

Go have another coffee or get your meds.

jedidarrick.bsky.social•194 days ago

Musk: "You can't defeat me."
Leftists: "I know. But they can."
(Cut to Boomer politicians raised on Cold War propaganda)

notaname.bsky.social•194 days ago

right yeah like whatever it takes at this point imo

trans.bsky.social•194 days ago

yup. sure, use the remnants of anticommunist sentiment to attack the American ruling class. i don’t give a shit, that’s funny as hell, great.

laminx.bsky.social•194 days ago

Surely the deal includes access & the agreement to push propaganda. Yet another reason why I’m glad I left the day Muskrat took over

yatesyman.bsky.social•194 days ago

Reckon he'll put a 'state-owned media' tag on the official Twitter account? 😉

khwalz.bsky.social•169 days ago

Fuck that traitor.

Well knock me over with a feather

rtoit.bsky.social•193 days ago

This plus Bin Talal's forced investment of 5% (literally after incarceration and torture by bin Salman) reveals what we've suspected for quite some time. Elon Musk is Putin's little creature as much as Trump has been.

dhprints.bsky.social•194 days ago

Elon musk is soo evil

What the.. what the fuck

The dots continue to connect. The global Plutocrats help each other with everything from political divisions to manufactured economic greedflation. All the democratic Countries are having the exact same domestic problems now. Coincidence? No, look closer. It all circles back to the same Plutocrats.

martinakraus.bsky.social•194 days ago

Text in Auszügen von @sunnymica.bsky.social:
"Elon Musk wurde von den Behörden gezwungen offenzulegen, wer seinen Twitter-Kauf finanziert hat.
Zu den Eigentümern von Twitter zählen zwei russische Oligarchen, die Putin nahestehen u gegen die Sanktionen verhängt wurden:
Petr Aven u Vadim Moshkovich.

Fortune still loves these guys eh? Scamalot Muskistan as a used tool, shocking.

frankhghtwr.bsky.social•180 days ago

Wait, financed? what happened to being able to sell all his tesla shares at the drop of a hat? What happened to being the richest man in the world?? What happened to being able to end world hunger, Elon???

lyse.bsky.social•194 days ago

We’re all shocked. SHOCKED.

Well…not that shocked.

wrecked9n76e.bsky.social•194 days ago

1-that it’s somehow allowed 2-that musk isn’t in prison for untold amounts of corruption already 3-he such a repugnant human-shaped sore

russglos.bsky.social•193 days ago

"Human-shaped"?
Have you seen him with his shirt off?

laminx.bsky.social•194 days ago

Not even a tiny bit shocked.

timmorton2.bsky.social•194 days ago

laminx.bsky.social•194 days ago

I wonder when he will be dragged before Congress and be grilled for several days regarding his ties to Russia and Saudi Arabia. (I know it will be an extremely long wait, but just pondering here)

mementomori4950.bsky.social•169 days ago

PayPal Mafia boys have always been a front for money laundering. None of these guys are geniuses, especially ElMu Mush and Peter Thiel. Crooks and stock manipulation is how they got wealthy.

smurfmasterjym.bsky.social•194 days ago

Gee I wonder what hue the Crayola color of surprise will be

sjhnstl.bsky.social•193 days ago

It's never surprising to find out that billionaires are dicks.
