Do you realize that the Russians are literally threatening him openly because of the Ukrainian Starlink operation? The Kremlin mob has a lot of assassinations behind it, so their threat is absolutely credible, not a random brain fart on the Internet.

Only against former Russians or Russians. Russia throws lots of empty threats, but has not threatened Musk personally.

Angering Xi and China can affect his business, so he shuts up like a good boy.

Yeah, the supposed free speech absolutist, cowtowing to Communists. Who Elon doesn't talk about is more interesting than the punching down he always does.
