Sorry but incorrect on both counts. And your statement contradicts itself.
It was not an orchestrated political mugging. Zelenskyy dragged the negotiations out into public and insulted the Vice President in front of cameras. It was amature hour for him. These kinds of spats happen all the time in private during negotiations but he pulled it out in front of everyone. He was told that America wouldn't discuss any kind of security deal and that it was just a deal for rare earth minerals. But Zelenskyy brought up security deals and American boots on the ground there, which will never happen. This is totally on Zelenskyy.
And Musk is indeed an United States Citizen and has been for 22 years.
If he benefits from the deal ... that's fine. A lot of American citizens will. The entire country will.
Musk can't be a vulture waiting on the deal to benefit himself, and at the same time be part of the White House orchestrating something to destroy the deal. That is contradictory and makes no sense.
