the weird cube man has been dicking around the Ukrainians over his satellite service since before he got involved in the election he just won. if you look into the history of spacex, a meeting with russia looms large in its early history. i personally think he's been a kremlin asset since 2004, at least.

That is an utterly crazy assertion. The Russians refused to sell him a rocket, if he was a Kremlin asset why would they refuse to sell him a rocket?

The money is bad enough already, you don't need to make stuff up.
