Putin hates Musk and sends assassins to other countries including Germany: Teslas do not burn Russian oil SpaceX has made Russian rockets a joke Grid batteries make wind and solar more reliable and cheaper than Russian natural gas and coal Twitter/X is not a Russian propaganda channel Musk earned 100s of billions of dollars making products people want Musk is taller than Putin Bob Wilson
What evidence has been exposed that ties the damage to the transmission tower to Russia? Isn't a left wing environmental group Volcano claiming credit? And occupying the expansion space with tree houses? Latest I read said terrorist involvement suspected but cited no evidence. Or is that a way of labeling Volcano as terrorist?
I worked as their adviser, as I have considerable experience building tree villages from the Spotted Owl days... But then I backed out after VW tried to cheat me out of my payment.
Late thought: Putin hates environmentalists because they don't buy Russian natural gas, oil, or coal. Perfect cover for his sabotage agent. Bob Wilson
Northern spotted owl populations continue to decline but not crash. They have a competitor, the barred owl, who have been hunted to ease those pressures for about 8 years. kinda icky, but with very limited remaining old-growth forests, that decision was made.
Although I don't want to rule out Putin, the one(s) claiming responsibility released a Ted Kaczynski manifesto: Part 1 Part 2 My summary: This reminds me of our own "Unabomber", Ted Kaczynski. There is a spectrum of Elon haters ranging from "personality conflicts" to 'Karens' to extreme physical threats. In ordinary life, we can distance ourselves but I was once "followed" by a similar lost soul. Putin remains on my suspect list (for cause) but I would not be surprised if this person ends up in a mental installation. Regardless, this reminds me of a favorite joke: According to legend an automobile driver noticed that a tire was going flat, and pulled over to the side of a lonely road adjacent to a tall metal fence. While replacing the tire with a spare the apprehensive driver removed the four lug nuts and accidentally dropped them down a sewer grate. A figure behind the metal fence saw the dispirited driver and presented a clever solution to the awful predicament. Each tire could be attached with three lug nuts, and the car could be driven to a service station for further assistance. The helpful person was a resident of a mental asylum, and the anecdote ended with this didactic exchange: “How is it that you could give such sound advice?” “I may be nuts but I’m not stupid.” Bob Wilson
The same could be said for 'evil.' Putty probably enabled some useful idiot. HE did not get to out-earn Elon by being stupid.
