Elon Musk, the world’s richest man who is now central to Donald Trump’s election campaign, has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin for the past two years, according to a report in the US.
The Wall Street Journal, citing several in-post and former US, European and Russian officials, reported that the conversations between the two men ranged from the personal to the geopolitical and included a request from the Russian leader not to activate his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favour to the Chinese leader and Putin ally, Xi Jinping.
Isn’t this espionage/treason? He has security clearance, he should not have contact with foreign government officials or sabotage our allies.
Or at the least, a violation of the Logan Act.
Absolutely, but he’s rich so it’s okay.
Rich and a Republican
Also a potential breach of ITAR.

He is and he isn’t. He’s a citizen of South Africa, Canada, and the USA.
