    Zelensky put up a poll that asked if you like the Elon that supports Ukraine or Russia? Seeing someone like Elon getting paraded around by Ukrainian officials during the middle of a war still baffles me. Celebrity culture knows no bounds.

      They used Starlink as a propaganda tool, as in propagandizing the US population into believing that it would have a benefit in the conflict. Of course it only happened because the US Gov funded it but that part is always in the small print or not even mentioned in the glowing media coverage Elon received from it, including props from Zelensky. I could see it being a tough spot when a guy that you gave huge props to is now suggesting that you fold, but it's good practice for when the rest of the western elites will undoubtedly tell Zelensky the same thing in the coming weeks.

        Zelensky won’t take the fall until he gets a Netflix contract like Obama’s.

        He will NOT settle for paramount plus.
