Where does Elon Musk fit into the Russian "puzzle"?

Is he oblivious to the deal(s) between Trump and Putin?

Was he just signed on to do the dirty work of Trump and the Republicans?

Or is he very close to Putin himself?

Is he Trump's "handler", telling him what Putin wants him to do?

It is very difficult to imagine all of these machinations going on with Putin, and Elon Musk not being a part of it?

Is he an independent agent, in competition with Putin, to steal whatever he can from the American people?

In my opinion, he is closer to Putin than is Donald Trump. And that is very, very close.

Musk makes sure that Krasnov does Putin's bidding. Krasnov is failing physically and mentally so Musk must keep him in line with Putin's wishes.

Musk speaks with Putin on a regular basis. Elon Musk is Putin's shadow following Krasnov wherever he goes.

Musk has more power than Krasnov. All of the dirt that Putin has on Krasnov, Musk also knows it.

Musk is working with Putin to destroy our democracy and to get the United States to become a partner in the Axis of Evil.

Here will be the tell going forward. Putin is friends with Iran, Iran and Israel are deadly enemies. In the future watch for the US to have a falling out with Israel, Book it.

9. I also should have added money and power. He has no ideology in my view, those are the two things he cares about.

Also, about the same time as the Oval Office ambush, we pulled 2 spy planes that were patrolling for Ukraine. They are back in the United States now.

to re-invent it to his vision. There is a reason why a number of the world’s wealthiest elites have all built compounds and fortresses with private armies.

That fits in with Putin’s psychotic agenda. For now.
