My personal opinion is that Putin would have thrown Musk out of a window already if he could have, and that Bannon is basically his proxy on this. Musk just wants smaller, easier to influence nations that his companies can more easily manipulate and be less subject to regulations as a result. Musk doesn’t give a shit about Putin, he is more concerned about there being an economy under him he can’t exploit as well.
This picture needs Musk holding another leash from the other side to be accurate.
Musk running free on all fours next to him, with a squeaky toy in his mouth.
Putin holding a leash attached to Musk and Musk also holding a leash attached to Trump.

But he’s still a useful idiot for Putin in destabilizing the US.
