It all makes perfect sense, now.

So I'd guess Putin must understand - either via FSB profiling or his experience - that Musk is the same generic megalomaniacal, narcissistic personality type as Trump, and he needs to be handled exactly the same.

This means, you never disagree publicly, you always stroke their ego and act as if they're good friends and allies publicly. You essentially act like they're your BFF from childhood. Because at its core, Trump and Musk and others like them have some hole they keep trying to fill by seeking adulation, loyalty and acceptance, and they are cheap dates if you're willing to lie. You can create that currency out of thin air (like FIFA, Apple, or anyone else who gave Trump some tin "Very Special Boy" award), it doesn't matter. And the cheapest is words, which Putin is happy to spend here.

Or, you know, Musk has been to Epstein's island and Russia has their hands on the files. One of those two.

They keep pretending that musk isn't sucking putin's dick. And donnie's.

Isn't that the sweetest thing?

Elon is a fucking traitor

What Putin calls genius is called insanity by doctors, and treason by patriots.
