If they've picked Musk as their front, they're too incompetent to be worth worrying about.

The motherfucker used his unparalleled view of the battle lines in Ukraine to see that Ukraine (an ally) was launching an offensive against the Russian navy (an enemy), and shut down access, stopping the offensive. The Russian fleet went on to attack Ukrainian civilians, killing children. Musk has also been meeting with Putin. The only reason he's not being tried for treason is the lack of a formal declaration of war against Russia. Musk is incredibly erratic and easily influenced. The government has to deal with him on some matters, but if they're not doing whatever they can to eliminate their reliance on that traitorous moron, they're not going to be capable of getting that mystery hardware to space, let alone using it.
