I think the most obvious thing has been the volume of Russian propaganda bots that flooded Twitter since Elon acquired it. We're talking about accounts posing as US citizens, for example, spreading disinformation. It was like a backdoor was opened for this sort of thing to flow unchecked.

Musk financing the purchase of Twitter using Russian oligarchs is an even bigger proof.

That puts this story in a new light. "In October 2023, Musk shared a meme to his millions of followers" that according to leaked documents obtained by a number of European media outlets "was put together by none other than the Social Design Agency" -- a Moscow-based group accused by the U.S. of orchestrating a "persistent foreign malign influence campaign" on behalf of the Kremlin. https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-…

Under US law, "treason" means either 1) trying to overthrow the government or 2) providing "aid and comfort" to enemies in war. The last time I checked, the US has not declared war with Russia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason_laws_in_the_United_Sta...

I think the Logan act is probably more apt? It came up a year ago when this was originally reported https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-08-21/musk-told...
