Military contractors are not usually private citizens they are defence contractors like Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, DARPA etc. Knowing about any of those companies steers you away from handing over any assets to them. Some communication infrastructure is Starlink and some platforms are backed up by those satellites including Rumble and Twitter as satellites are less vulnerable to blackouts, not impossible though obviously. That said, I do not know either.

I think it goes beyond some finding him entertaining, much like Trump he seems to nod towards the Q community relatively often along with plausible deniability.
