NASA administrator Bill Nelson called for an investigation into a report that Elon Musk has been having secret conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin while dually involved in classified intelligence contracts with the U.S. government.

“I don’t know that that story is true. I think it should be investigated,” Nelson said Fridayat a Semafor conference in Washington. “If the story’s true, that there have been multiple conversations between Elon Musk and the president of Russia, then I think that would be concerning, particularly for NASA, the Department of Defense, for some of the intelligence agencies.”

      Hmm… I want him to be in a dark cell, but I also don’t want Russia to have any advantages because of what he did.

        Russia is collapsing, probably somewhere around 2025-2026, hi-tech won’t help them. So as a trade-off I’d take a little secret to putin for an unpleasant cell for musko.

          Then they sell that info to China. I’m still not happy about it. But I’ll take it if it means Musk in a cell.
