Elon Musk
got himself on the right side of history.
Not on the side of the neo-fascist regime in Moscow, which is waging a war of annihilation with its troops in Ukraine, but on the side of the attacked.
Its satellite-based Internet, called Starlink, is helping Ukraine maintain its communications infrastructure under attack by the invaders.
The head of the Russian space agency Roskosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, is extremely dissatisfied.
Musk, Rogozin wrote on Telegram, is “involved in providing fascist forces in Ukraine with means of military communications.”
He will have to answer for that “like an adult”.
Rogozin, a former deputy prime minister, is a standard-bearer of Russian imperialism.
The war of aggression ordered by Putin is entirely to his liking.
Russia, said Rogozin, could destroy the countries of the NATO members in a nuclear war within half an hour.
But this war should not be allowed.
This is exactly the rhetoric with which the Russian leadership is fueling the "German Angst" expressed in letters from 28 celebrities these days, with which Alice Schwarzer in particular feels good.
On May 8, she even self-importantly gave the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj behavioral lessons ("I regret that Zelenskyj does not stop provoking"; "I would also like to see a bit more nuanced tones from Ukraine"), which in view of the in of the mass murder taking place in Ukraine by the Russian army has something thoroughly repulsive about it.
Elon Musk, meanwhile, reacted to the threat directed against him personally as hard as we are used to from him.
"If I should die under mysterious circumstances - it was nice to have known you," he wrote on Twitter.
That's something different than the fear of the local type, which seems to be morally superior.
However, Elon Musk should not take the threat lightly.
The dictator in the Kremlin has everyone he identifies as an enemy and "Nazi" or "Nazi supporter" followed around the clock, around the world.
