Musk is South African. We should expect his loyalties to reflect his home country more than the US.

it is really wonderful that someone truly wants peace to settle in my country

The only person capable of settling peace is that dictator Putin just stopping their illegal invasion into a sovereign nation.

The past half century has been moving production out of the west and into China but it's somehow just bad when it's Musk?
