Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.

What is it with this complete lack of nuance surrounding things? Elon Musk is not my hero. He's a terrible human being, by everything I've read about him as a person. But just being a terrible human being doesn't mean that every negative rumor or clickbait headline that shows up about him must automatically be true.

Bill Cosby is a terrible human being, for example. Hey, I heard he eats kittens! Let's circulate that news, it must be true because Bill Cosby is awful.
