Yep, this will go down in the history books as an incredible feat of non-confrontative "silent" warfare by Putin against the entire West. If there are still history books in the future.

Also both clearly report to Putin, so likely he told them to work together. And each of them is getting something out of it (for Musk, I assume nobody will look more deeply into his companies anymore, which are known to break all manner of regulations).

Nope, he stole that from Edison.

He's also much more senile this time. And they have plenty of experience with that from Reagan.

And actually has a really good, thought-out story.

Well, this war is amazing business for the US military-industrial complex, so we'll see if they still have more sway in shaping US foreign policy than Putin: https://www.vox.com/world/2022/12/16/23507640/dc-party-invite-military-contractors-money-ukraine-russia-war-us

Also they are all stark raving mad like the "late, great" Hannibal Lecter because he confuses asylum with insane asylum.

Yep, they have an ongoing drug and AIDS crisis, and lost a lot of people to Covid since they only had their own vaccine, refusing other ones, which only worked in about half the cases though and which people were very sceptical of since the anti-vaccine propaganda on social media started by Russian bots to weaken the West backfired since Russians believed it as well.

That's definitely the play. It's another power (and money-) grab by the super rich: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/brexit-a-movement-for-the-super-rich-by-the-super-rich-159708/ So why not try the same thing a second time? Then it was mainly bankers, now its tech bros. In both cases they don't really care about destroying the economy of one country. If they can't squeeze any more money out of it, they just leave like the locusts they are. The US is a particularly juicy fruit for them, it might take them decades to fully turn it into Russia 2.0.

Just one more department for efficiency and we will finally be efficient.

Also (without wanting to belittle your condition), if the choice is between autism and life in an iron lung, I'd take autism.

(Besides the movie being hilariously bad.) Halle Berry's face is massively deaged through the entire movie for no apparent reason. What's up with that?
