Except putin is holding musk's reins.

SpaceX got started because the Russians were dicks to Musk and refused to launch satellites for him, and he's taken a lot of business from them.

What makes you think they have anything on him?

I dont know. But why would he be getting personal calls from putin and followingnhis requests?

Is he? The two have many shared interest sure, and maybe he has some dirt on Musk. I feel like if Putin was the "grand puppet master" he's often made out to be then the war in Ukraine would be going much better for him. The article above seems to indicate that Putins influence has waned considerably since 2016.
