Hmmm I don't know like limiting Starlink on Urkainian drones? Like repeatedly meeting with Putin and failing to disclose it? Failure to report foreign contracts? The fact that he was denied Special Access Program clearance (we don't know why)? The fact that he has over $1B in loans from state controlled Chinese banks? Campaigning on behalf of the far right AFD party in Germany?

The drone thing is uninteresting. But the others I haven't heard about. Do you have reliable sources for these? The problem with anti-Musk stuff is that 99% of the time it is overblown sniping from media hungry blowhards or oil industry lobbyists, and has been since 2012 when he launched the Model S at Tesla. But, I'm open to considering real problems. His time at DOGE was definitely dodgy (but the falling out between Trump and Musk was epic cinema.)

>limiting Starlink on Urkainian drones

So as not to violate ITAR? That thing where Ukraine used a gift in the way they were explicitly asked not to?
