You do realise that the basis for the claim that #Musk was frightened is weak, the sort of thing that anyone who wanted to create some basis for some sort of defence of their action would do?

From where I stand the article looks like #ReputationLaundering.

@Peternimmo @anneapplebaum
The article presents a communication made by Musk to his biographer that he had concerns about Ukraine triggering a nuclear war as the basis for an affirmative statement by the journalist, and The Atlantic, that Musk's action was due to fear.

I suggest this is not a reasonable basis for confidence that the journalist knows Musk's motivation.

You can see where this goes.
