Its far easier and more likely that Putin has compromat on Elon and is just telling him what to do. Its the most likely reason Trump and Elon are in lock step over the Ukrainian Starlink problems. Putin is really pressured over the recent increased range of Ukrainian attacks and wants it to stop so will risk his prime assets.
Even trump isn’t dumb enough to think the pitiful amount of fuel he buying from Putin will impact fuel prices in the US, but it does give Putin some signifcant short term funds for laundering Iranian oil.
Iran is making out gangbusters from this whole shebang. Tolls on shipping, more cash from the US via Russian drone orders. It’s almost like Trump & co. are imbeciles.
