Why though? Russian government doesn’t really give a fuck who’s actually funded by whom. They just use any foreign money transfers as a pretext to bully whomever they want. e.g. If you have a youtube channel and receive adsense or patreon money then you are always at risk of being designated a “foreign agent” at whim, and then you won’t be able to buy shit as nobody would want to take money from you due to risk of also being designated as such.
You said it yourself… They’re looking for the pretext
Well, what I meant is that, with such shallow requirements, they already have pretext to bully practically anyone. They can just look at banking history and declare anyone who has any foreign transfers, or transfers from anyone who has any, a foreign agent. That’s already almost anyone in Russia covered. Those who don’t live in Russia are already foreign agents by default. The only category of people it doesn’t really cover is people living in Russia but using cash only.
Would be nice for them to have a list of people that will accidentally trip and fall out of a window
Musk has already given them over, I’m sure, regardless of what claim is made going forward.
Probably for free, too.
Maybe not for USAid; but it makes me very concerned that Elon Musk might have information about intelligence operations overseas, and he could literally spoil operation and put other people at risk … it just grinds my gears that he has so much government information and he hasn’t even gone through a confirmation hearing of any sort. 
Didn’t Trump already do this last time? I seem to remember a lot of our intelligence assets dying suddenly after meeting with Putin or something?
Thats exactly what happened and somehow nobody said shit. If I was in charge of any of those units I would have shoved my entire self up the Donald’s ass until he was screaming like the stuck pig he is.
That’s what these wackos sign up for. They want to kill and/or die for the empire. No big loss.
Bad take
“Murder is ok when capitalism”
Any you wonder why they throw “tankie” around so much
Calling it now, they have a poo-poo tape of Musk
Sometimes I wonder if this is all because Epstein didn’t kill himself.
It’s the only way to actually take over the world, since open war is off the table due to MAD. Get Epstein cultivating kompromat on the world’s most powerful people for years and years, dedicate military resources to online trolling and influence, put your puppets in power and have them speedrun your agenda, boom USA has been dismantled and other Western democracies are next
Musk is just a greedy cunt who fancies himself a king.
Musk/Trump will deliver on that, no questions asked.
Probably already did days ago. This is just Putin showing who’s boss by asking publicly that which was private.
Is Elon secretary of state too now?
Lord Elon is whatever he wants to be. Peasants would do well to learn their place and to address his majesty with the respect he deserves.

Is the FSB really that incompetent they don’t know who in Russia is getting public grants from the US?
Of course they do, but why waste a chance to appear as doing something?
Musk looks like Kara Swisher in this photo.
And Mango Mussolini looks even more mummified than usual.
Aren’t USAid grants public?
Maybe the grants are public (probably not), but the coups and whatnot are secret. Google around…
LOL - Your 2nd link is for Iranian owned state media. I don’t know that anyone should take their word on anything.
Any bets on whether this gets added to the Russia/US-negotiated deal for Ukraine?
This is the problem with getting “aid” from a genocidal empire. At best the system just uses people then throws them out.
