Being A Billionaire Does Not Confer The Wisdom of Solomon

 Talking about Elon Musk (although it does apply to Peter Thiel and Donald J. Trump). Why this title? Elon Musk’s Ukraine Delusions from The Bulwark. In particular, I agree with these parts:

After the revelation that he actively thwarted what might have been a decisive military operation against the Russian Black Sea fleet, Musk will find it difficult to be acquitted on the charges of being a useful idiot of Russian imperialism. If this was action was taken contrary to the wishes or even without the express permission of the United States government, the Biden administration should strongly consider nationalizing Starlink.

The alternative scenario—that the United States approved of Musk’s veto of the Ukrainian military operation—would be less of a personal scandal and more of a strategic blunder. It would indicate what we already know to be true: that U.S. leaders have been helping Kyiv prosecute this struggle with undue caution, to the detriment of both Ukrainian lives and the prospects of Ukrainian victory. Musk is not alone in failing to understand that Ukrainians are at war.

I wonder if there is not a law against private interference in diplomatic matters. I am fairly certain filibustering is against the law.
