    The Logan Act deals with private citizens negotiating with foreign governments. Unless he fucked with Starlink at the direct request of the Russian gov’t, I don’t see how the Logan Act applies. EDIT: apparently he did it after speaking with Russian government officials. So never mind, Logan Act is absolutely implicated.

      *Foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. I don’t think this qualifies. Unfortunately.

          What’s your point? We’re still not in a dispute with Russia. A proxy dispute, maybe, but we’re not in active conflict with them.

          I’m on your side! Elon is a fuckwit and Russia is run by a despot but I don’t think the Logan act applies
