> Elon Musk praised Russian state media propaganda outlets in texts, court documents show"

From the article:

> "Actually, I find their news quite entertaining," Musk continued, according to the filing. In a follow-up text, the world's richest man described Russian media as having a "lot of bullshit, but some good points too."

> "Free speech matters most when it's someone you hate spouting what you think is bullshit," Musk commented after Gracias agreed with his stance on free speech.

Spinning this as praise is borderline disinformation. But then again, spewing clickbaity BS is completely on brand for BI.

> Tweeting Praise for Putin Ally, Musk Wades In on Ukraine Again"

The article is behind paywall, but the bit I could read says "The SpaceX Chief Executive Officer praised a snarky post by Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday about the UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, known for her tough stance against Russia’s"

Liz Truss is primarily known for being beaten by a Lettuce. Was that it?

> White House Freaked Out Over Elon Musk's Selfie With Top Russian Propagandist"

From the article itself: "As Bloomberg reports, there doesn't appear to have been much of an exchange between Musk and Russian TV personality Nailya Asker-Zade beyond the purportedly state-controlled journalist asking him for a photo at the World Cup in December." They admit there's nothing to it but still want to breathlessly report on.

As for the peace plan:

"Biden officials privately doubt that Ukraine can win back all of its territory" https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/28/politics/white-house-ukra...

"U.S. privately asks Ukraine to show it’s open to negotiate with Russia": https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/11/05/...


You're wasting your time, there is endless biased and dishonest reporting that anyone can endlessly point to to justify their blind hatred of space man.
