4. This contract is contemporaneous with the turning of Musk. I feel very uneasy about this partnership.

It reminds me of the infamous Blackwater. Musk is NOT a patriot. He's an immigrant who bashes immigrants. He is NOT a friend of Ukraine. His idea of free speech is to let Hitler talk all he wants. What could possibly go wrong?

Once our government started outsourcing its primary responsibilities to for-profit capitalists, we were set on the path of self-destruction. Our military has been leading the way, outsourcing to Eric Prince and Elon Musk and Dick Cheney. I'm fearful of the unseen consequences of this naive approach. I just hope we are not too far gone when the dubious nature of our error is finally realized. It may be too late already.
