That would go against their own policies. Note that any free-of-charge arrangement of the kind normally happens only at check-in. Are you discussing something that happened already or the current interim seating for a future flight? If the latter it should be fixed later 🤞

In a meeting with top officials and the U.S. president, Musk has proposed to create a nuclear deterrent in the form of what appears to be called a “doomsday machine”. Details are lacking but a photo has leaked of him thanking the audience at the end of the meeting.

I have seen politicians claiming that Canada has a huge leverage on the U.S. as large importer of U.S. goods. I do not know whether they are fooling also themselves or only the public, as there is a enormous imbalance when it comes to the relevance of the exports of one country to the other.
