Musk’s Ties To Putin Laid Bare
We should be very worried.
A lawsuit filed by disgruntled ex-Twitter employees accusing Musk of violating their arbitration agreements has revealed something extremely disturbing about Musk’s takeover of the now-dying platform. It turns out that some of the financing Musk acquired by Musk to see through his purchase of Twitter was linked to Russian Oligarchs in Putin’s inner circle. While this connection is not as direct as many are reporting, it, combined with Musk’s change of behaviour since taking over Twitter, nonetheless heavily suggests that Musk is under the influence of the Kremlin. Let me explain.
One of the court documents of this lawsuit detailed who financed Musk’s purchase of Twitter, and it makes for some worrying reading. For example, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz’s venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, was a major backer of Musk’s purchase. Interestingly enough, they are both hard-line Trump supporters, and since Musk purchased Twitter, he has swung dramatically to the right and has backed Trump. This could easily be a coincidence, but the timings are nonetheless suspicious.
There are other questionable backers, such as P. Diddy. But there is one that seems innocent on the surface: the US venture capital firm 8VC, but beneath the surface, it really isn’t.
