There's a lot of Russian propaganda out there working aggressively to attack Elon Musk on several fronts. Russia makes $6 Billion a year farming out it's launching capabilities to multiple countries. Russia's overall GDP for the whole country is $1.5 Trillion. This is why Putin is targeting Musk (from another thread)

Putin has targeted Elon since Space X has started successfully landing it's self landing reusable rockets in 2015.

Why?

Because Elon Musk is now a threat to the Russian space industry who now does all the launches & returns for the space station.

So expect to keep seeing continued online attacks and campaigns against Elon Musk in all of his businesses
