Billionaire Elon Musk has been getting a lot of heat since he launched his bid to buy Twitter. He’s used to getting heat; it comes with being a controversial mega-rich person. But now it seems he’s concerned that he may die under mysterious circumstances.
“If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya”

It’s a joke, of course, but even in jokes people often reveal a hint of reality. Perhaps Musk really does feel like he’s being targeted in a way that puts him in grave danger. There are certainly people who would love to do him harm, at least some of whom currently work for the company he’s trying to buy. But it seems his biggest concern at the moment is coming from Russia.
A Tweet from the head of the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, appeared to level a threat against Musk for his delivery of the Starlink internet system to the Ukrainians. Dmitry Rogozin posted in Russian and Musk had a translation in English. It reads:
“From the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, it turns out that the internet terminals of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the Nazi Azov Battalion and the Ukrainian Marines in Mariupol by military helicopters.
“According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink equipment was carried out by the Pentagon.
“Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment. And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult — no matter how much you’ll play the fool.”

This isn’t the first time the two have sparred, but the Putin regime has been known to not be above using assassinations to get rid of their opponents. Is Musk playing with fire? Does he care if he is?
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!

Musk certainly has reason to fear that Putin would send an assassin against him. I pray for his safety. It would be a dark day if it happened.
