As I was writing my next installment in my series ‘The War for our Minds’ (which will be published this weekend), I started to look into Elon Musk a bit deeper. Yes, in his Twitter saga, as well, but my interest was not really in regards to his Twitter take-over, however important that is.
No, I was looking into the topic of ‘fear’, and as I was following some interesting leads, I ended up in Ukraine, and Musk. When I then came across this post by Karma Patriot, a whole new subchapter opened up. Too long to add to my original article, but too interesting not to share.
So this article is devoted to Musk, and a little spitballing in the end, trying to make sense of it all. (At the risk of falling prey to apophenia, ‘the experience of seeing a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things’.)
Let’s start with Karma Patriot, who wrote on Telegram:
Did you get the part about weakening the US, leaving us defenseless, so he could use the resulting fear of war and terror attacks to control us, the people? That part is for my next article.
Today, we will explore that other stuff Karma Patriot mentioned, in a little detour preparing for that other article: Elon Musk.
Or first, actually, I need to talk a little about the NATO influence inside the Ukrainian army. NATO and the US have pioneered the used of tablets for unit communication and order transmission, as well as immediate and complete situational awareness, linking satellite, drone and plane images with maps, weather, infra-red imaging, direct and immediate orders by commanders, all through encrypted and safe electronic channels, to allow those units much faster and much more accurate movements for recon, targeting and attacks.
When NATO intelligence gathering finds a gap or weak link in the Russian lines, they can immediately and very accurately send units to exploit that weakness. This has been used with very great success in the Kharkov region, where the Ukrainians are outmaneuvering the Russians at several of the battlefields.
Enter Musk.
First, he tweets a proposal for peace (when virtually NO ONE in the West talks about diplomacy or peace, only about destroying Russia), that seems reasonable and in line with democratic values: redo the referendum, but now under auspices of the UN or another acceptable international group, to ensure it is valid.
When he got flack from Lindsey Graham, of all people (surprised? Not really, sadly), he defending his proposal by pointing at the Ukrainian electoral map from 2012, showing a very high percentage pro-Russian votes in those Eastern regions, suggesting that it shows that the referendum results are very plausible.
“If you care about the people of Ukraine, look for peace,” Elon said, and how come no one else really talks about peace? Since when do we need that man with his head in the stars to ground us again?
That was one reaction by an observer of the immediate attacks on Musk that were launched as soon as he tweeted his plan.
Attacks from the highest levels, in this next case, by Andrij Melknyk, a Ukrainian top-diplomat, in a way that can hardly be described as ‘diplomatic’:
And Ukrainian emigrants made a video message for Musk: “Take the starlink and fuck off.”
Very interesting, to get a Chinese perspective, from Hu Xijin (a Chinese journalist and the former editor-in-chief and party secretary of the Global Times, a tabloid under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party's official People's Daily newspaper, according to Wikipedia), so someone who would not write anything unless in line with the Chinese Communist Party:
‘Taught a lesson’? ‘Believes too much in ‘freedom of speech’’? Well, now you now again where the CCP stands in all of this (look at my previous article, ‘US betrayal of Germany and Europe’, and the place of China in all of this)
Even the White House added in reply:
“We will not talk about Ukraine without Ukraine. It is their decision when it comes to any diplomacy or negotiations for that matter. And thatʼs why I leave it to the Ukrainian people," said Karin Jean-Pierre during a press briefing. Repudiates Musk, and repeats that the US stands by Ukraine. No word about any attempts to broker peace. Now you know where they stand, in case you had any doubts left.
ULTRA Pepe Lives Matter on Telegram remarked:
“In the course of a week:
Elon Musk said that if you type the word Trump you will be inundated with bots on Twitter, he highlighted the child crime on the platform, he then baited Zelensky into showing he does not care about peace as the bots flooded his post, and now he pushes to buy Titter anyways?
Something spicy is happening.”
Yet others are skeptical. Spygate Down writes, in reply to a message about Musk’s Twitter debate with Zelensky over the Russian war and Musk’s peace proposal:
“As entertaining as these things may be, they change nothing and only serve to distract.
Starlink is serving Ukraine operations.
This is theater anon.”
But is that all there is to it?
Around October 7th, there were reports about outages of internet service, coupled to Starlink, in Ukraine.
The article Musk referred to, is this one.
Remember all the tablets that NATO provided for the Ukrainian Army? What did they run on, in those endless steppe field of Ukraine? You guessed it, Starlink. Which greatly impacted their combat effectiveness, suddenly being blind and deaf, cut off from intel and commands.
As the Financial Times wrote in that article:
“Some of the outages led to a “catastrophic” loss of communication in recent weeks, said one senior Ukrainian government official with direct knowledge of the issue.” And “Another Kyiv official said the connection failures were widespread and prompted panicked calls from soldiers to helplines.”
A report by Russia Today (RT) stated that “Due to interruptions in the operation of Starlink satellites, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering heavy losses - collapse and panic in their General Staff.
This was reported to RT by a source in one of the Russian special services. According to him, due to the lack of stable Internet communication channels, unit commanders receive information from the fronts with a delay.”
Immediately, Musk was being named a Russian Spy, by some Ukrainian bloggers.
And when a German writer, Max Otte, called out the Ukrainian diplomat, that same diplomat doesn’t stop.
Max: “Ukraine is completely dependent on Elon Musk, who, with Starlink, had contributed more than any other human, that this country has not been steamrolled. And Andrij Melnyk replies to Musk’s peace proposal ‘Fuck off’. Whether that is a good idea…?”
Andrij Melnyk: “A good idea is, when you keep your extreme right trap shut, and mind your own business. We don’t need your advise.”
But that is not all. Adam Kinzinger (yes, the Adam Kinzinger, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump) demanded that Musk and/or SpaceX be investigated, and clarify himself.
And immediately rumors are spread that Musk spoke with Putin. He must have, right? Even Vice reported the rumor, likely in an attempt to further discredit Musk and thwart his take-over of Twitter, in an article titled ‘Elon Musk Spoke to Putin Before Tweeting Ukraine Peace Plan: Report’.
Musk quickly denied that:
A complete witch hunt, were the dreaded accusation is: YOU ARE PRO-RUSSIA! Where have we heard that before? It is getting boring, and tired, but that is what it is. And of course: Musk is dangerous, as he is so close to take over Twitter, a vital piece in the Elites plan for information warfare and influence on communication.
On a side note: in Odessa, they are painting over the large mural of Musk that was put up to thank him for his support of Ukraine. How quick the mighty fall! This shows the absolute emotional way people act and think, very fickle, and ever changing.
Text under the picture: "The Advertising Department removes the photo of Elon Musk from billboards, with which we thanked for the support of Ukraine." (City Council of Odessa)
In the latest about this, Musk stated that SpaceX can no longer keep funding the Ukrainian use of Starlink, asking the Pentagon to step in.
Interestingly, CNN just reported a few hours ago on this very issue.
In their article, they wrote:
“Documents obtained by CNN show that last month Musk’s SpaceX sent a letter to the Pentagon saying it can no longer continue to fund the Starlink service as it has. The letter also requested that the Pentagon take over funding for Ukraine’s government and military use of Starlink, which SpaceX claims would cost more than $120 million for the rest of the year and could cost close to $400 million for the next 12 months.”
And in typical Musk boss style, he added a jab to the failed diplomat:
Now, the question is:
A) Is the Russian army suddenly very good at electronic warfare, and did they find a way to interfere with Starlink?
B) Did Musk step in, somehow, either in reaction to how his peace plan was ill-received in Ukraine, or because of some other agenda?
C) Did the Pentagon step up and pay for it, and added strings to that money, and are the interruptions due to DoD agents?
D) All of the above?
E) None of the above?
I tend to go with D. Leave it to some military unit, Space Force (which other unit would be in charge of anything to do with satellites?), to coordinate the satellites for which services the DoD is now paying? Musk, already tied to the DoD as a top contractor, involved in the hostile take-over of Twitter, aiming at a radical counter-move in the information landscape.
Do you remember Musk saying “What’s happening on the battlefield, that’s classified”. That is not a businessman speaking. What you’d expect, would sound more like this: “What’s happening with my hardware, that’s proprietary.” But Musk didn’t say that. No, he spoke about battlefields, and ‘classified’. Proof of anything? No. But it sure makes one wonder. Musk is way too smart to use such words carelessly.
As Burning Bright wrote in his substack article last week:
“While some are positioning this agreement as a legal loss or face-saving opportunity for Musk, who bit off more than he could chew by getting into a lawfare pissing match with the tech giant, I see it as yet more tacit confirmation that we’re currently in the midst of a multi-front psychological war for the Collective Mind of American Society, and that the overly dramatic and somewhat cartoonish saga surrounding Musk’s Twitter acquisition was meant to garner a critical mass of psychological attention en route to a transition of the platform to new management as we enter the beginnings of what could be a new paradigm of public discourse and disclosure.”
There is a lot at stake, not just with Starlink, and Musk is at the middle of it all. Twitter seems to be key to a lot of influencing operations, with bots, sophisticated theories and methods of influencing, linked to the government (I forget who it was, but he wrote about how the hardware needed to run an operation like Twitter, with so many links and operations done at the same time, is simply out of reach for a normal company that wants to make a profit. But the goal of Twitter is not profit.)
You can see it by the desperation at Twitter itself, here in a Telegram post by Karli Bonne:
“BREAKING: Sources tell Steve Bannon, Twitter informed Elon Musk they would knock some money off the deal if he committed to two things:
1. Not let Trump & the Conservatives back on Twitter that have already been banned
2. Allow the management team to stay
Elon Musk was not prepared to do either and said “the deal’s a deal”
They are trying all they can to remain in practical charge. What are they trying to cover up, or what are they trying to preserve? And notice they want whole groups to remain OFF Twitter. They know the influence Twitter has in sharing ideas, and the danger those groups they want to keep of, will have, once allowed back on.
I wrote about the Asch Conformity Experiments, and how even a single dissent voice, other than the person they are trying to influence, is enough to break the spell.
“We see how people are influenced by their peers, and even chose pertinently false answers, they KNOW to be untrue, just because ‘all the others’ picked the wrong answer. Why do you think the big Tech companies flood their services with articles, links and posts that all spout the same party line and talking points? Exactly this: to create this impression of unanimity, to force all the rest to conform, even to the point of denying their own eyes and mind, what they know to be true, in order NOT to sound different. (I’ll touch upon more on this later)
But here is something very important to note: the moment that even 1 other person in the group gave the right answer, the test subject would be much more assertive in saying the right thing, despite still being a minority view. He’d create a bond with the other person, as that video showed: he glanced over, and nodded his head, as if to say ‘way to go, we got it right! Heard those idiots giving the wrong answer?’
Here is why this is important to note: THE NEW MEDIA AND CITIZEN BLOGGERS/JOURNALISTS ARE THAT OTHER PERSON. WE ALLOW THE OTHER PEOPLE TO STICK TO THEIR GUNS, and to say the RIGHT thing they KNOW to be true, even in face of a plurality stating otherwise!”
Letting those people back on Twitter, is the same as allowing that ‘other person’ into the experiment: they will ruin the desired effect! KEEP THEM OUT!
They know they are trapped.
Brian Cates wrote about it, in his substack article “Elon Musk closes the trap on Twitter”, as do many others.
And we can tell by their latest actions, as brilliantly summarized by Cognitive Carbon:
“The state of things:
1. Elon to Twitter: "I bought stock in Twitter."
2. {Yawn, both eyes closed}
3. "I bought a lot."
4. {one eye opens}
5. "I bought enough to be a board member"
6. (Twitter, alarmed) "You can't!"
7. Elon: "I want to buy the whole company"
8. Twitter: "you CAN'T!!!"
9. Elon: here's my bid
10. Twitter: We hate it
11. Twitter shareholders: We like it
12. Twitter: OK fine
13. Elon: Too many bots. I'm out.
14. Twitter: You can't not buy us!
15. Elon: sue me
16. Twitter: OK
17. Twitter: you MUST buy us
18. Elon: No
19. Twitter: We insist
20. Elon: OK
21. Twitter: "You can't buy us!"
As that back and forth about Twitter goes on, a Ukrainian channel on Telegram, Legitimтн, writes about the role Elon Musk has been taking on when on the world stage, using his huge follower base to quickly spread important ideas:
“Elon Musk is warming up the dossier to "save the world" from nuclear war. The warming is about international agreements on compromise terms and Ukraine's possible loss of Crimea and other regions, including Donbass.
[…]
Musk's game fully confirms that in the West, support for the actions of the Office of the President and Zelensky will gradually cool."
This points towards the theories that I keep hearing, and start seeing initial pushes towards, of Trump ‘saving the day’, and disarming this nuclear ticking bomb, an influence ploy that will explode in the faces of the cabal.
And IntelSlava adds:
“Elon Musk, Donald Trump, the Pope and Erdogan spoke on the topic of the threat of nuclear war and the need for urgent negotiations between the United States and the Russian Federation in recent days. As the parties gradually approach the borders of the territory of the Caribbean crisis remake, the rhetoric associated with the need for agreements in the face of nuclear annihilation is gradually seeping into the political mainstream.”
Is all that coincidence? Or a plan that is in action? Not with every player necessarily fully on board, but acting towards shared goals?
And it isn’t just Karma Patriot, who notices something is up, as we saw at the beginning of this article. The great BioClandestine on telegram (give him a follow, on Telegram and on his Substack) has similar thoughts:
“The general public are being normalized to expect an upcoming Cuban Missile Crisis level-event.
Myself and others have been suggesting this will end with Trump being the savior of the upcoming “scare event”, which will prove to the normies that Trump is a great leader and not the man the media claim him to be. Which will grant him the global support he needs to make lasting changes to this world, as well as hold the perpetrators accountable.
It’s coming. This is the avenue to Justice.”
And in another comment:
“For those who don’t fully understand the value and timing of this:
Now when the myriad of October surprises on the horizon are unleashed, Twitter will no longer be able to run cover for the Left by labeling facts as “Russian disinformation”.
Twitter’s mass censorship of the Hunter Biden Laptop story swayed MILLIONS of votes nationwide in 2020. The Left no longer possess that safety blanket.
The main Left-wing echo chamber is now extremely vulnerable to pre-election red pills.
Sitting ducks.”
And also:
“He is weaponizing law enforcement to go after citizens and political adversaries, and intervening in private enterprise. Ya know, like Fascism.
This also proves the strategic value of Twitter, thus the fierce struggle for control of it.
As we’ve seen in the past, it is a powerful election interference weapon. With the ability to alter perceived reality via censorship and propaganda, which has swayed millions of votes (Hunter’s Laptop).
I smell desperation.”
There is another incredible example of such pre-election red-pill. Tomorrow I give you an amazing story, very fresh, from this week, showing how the left and their echo chamber are indeed extremely vulnerable: they are getting hit and undermined by their own tactics to control us/their voters.
For today, these thoughts about Musk will suffice. A white hat? Working with the Military and Trump? Or a black hat, a decoy to keep us busy, as nothing changes in the end? Maybe simply a greedy capitalist, simply in it to win it all, and to see just how far he can go?
The longer this goes on, and the more you see things fall into place, the clearer it should become. When you then look at the attacks leveled at Musk, it should take away all doubt.
He is an enemy of the elites, in Ukraine, and here. They want him investigated, through their weaponized DoJ and other Government Agencies. People like Kinzinger panic, because of Musk.
It is clear, and I love where this is going.
All is well.
Great article! Thank you. This topic deserved attention!! Elon is certainly in a good position to really antagonize the elites to the hilt. The next few months will no doubt be interesting.
All is well, one of my favorite phrases is "all will be well" for my family and it's based on my faith in our God. I love it. I love Elon Musk too, second to DJT I believe; people are foolishly misunderstanding his actions without using their intellects to reason as to why Mr Musk may commit the actions that he does .. my estimation of him is he truly wishes to make our world a better place for as many people as possible. Yes, seriously, that's Elon Musk's goal. I love him even though I'll never meet him, he's important to all of us.
