I don't believe it. Not these guys are good or whatever, but being Russian agents is a stretch. There may be common interest without being an agent of the evil Russian regime. Musk and Thiel are playing for themselves, not for the Russians and if they need to side with them to reach their goal, they will. To some extent, how can we be sure trying to paint them as Moscow's agents isn't the game Putin is playing to destabilize the USA?

Never said anything about them being Russian spies, just that they are being influenced and there is evidence to prove it.

Oh yes. This is all part of Russia masterful campaign to get us to distrust Thiel and Musk. See how dumb that sounds.

I didn't say it is part of a Russian master plan, but in this area, lies are masters. So, it's hard to take anything for granted because that guy said so or this other said otherwise.

This guy is giving up his career over this, so that gives some credence for me at least. I do agree that it is hard to tell what is real with all the disinformation going around.

Careful, I have multiple angry people stalking my comment history now for questioning this claim.
