Trump's new best buddy Musk is in cahoots with Putin. How can we tell? An undersea communications cable between Lithuania and Sweden has been damaged in the Baltic Sea, public broadcaster LRT reported on Nov. 18. Andrius Šemeškevicius, the chief technology officer of Lithuanian telecommunications company Telia, stated the cable was cut on Nov. 17, around 10 a.m. “The systems immediately reported that we lost the connection,” LRT quoted Šemeškevicius. “Further investigation determined that it was damaged.” The damaged cable is one of the three that connect Lithuania to the internet. While overall data traffic throughput capacity has been reduced, connectivity for Lithuanian users remains stable, he added. He also told CNN that the disruptions were likely caused by physical damage to the cable itself. “We can confirm that internet traffic disruptions were not caused by equipment failure but by physical damage to the fiber-optic cable,” Šemeškevicius stated." It's handy that Musk has a starlink satellite service he can sell to those folks whose cables are damaged. Does Trump care? Probably not. Does he know what Musk is up to? Who can say. But letting Musk tamper with the US Government operations doesn't bode well for anyone except Musk. If photos could post here I'd put up an image of the fox guarding the hen house.
