      Russia doesn’t pay people for that sort of thing, especially not a person like Musk. Instead they extort. Possibly over rare materials.

      Anyway I don’t think Russia was part of Musks takeover of twitter, that stemmed from Musks own arrogant stupidity, but they certainly did become one afterwards.

        I was going to edit my comment to include blackmail / kompromat as well, which in the end I do find to be more likely.
