Summary
Elon Musk accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of “feeding off the dead bodies of soldiers” and falsely claimed he is “despised” by Ukrainians, echoing Donald Trump’s rhetoric.
Musk also threatened changes to X’s Community Notes after fact-checkers refuted his claims. Trump and Musk’s remarks align with Russian propaganda, prompting European leaders to reaffirm support for Ukraine.
Observers rejected claims that Ukraine is a dictatorship, emphasizing that its wartime election suspension is both legal and justified, similar to the UK’s approach during World War II.
Critics argue Musk’s stance undermines free speech and factual discourse while aiding Kremlin narratives against Ukraine.
Holy shit Zelenskyy appears to have seriously triggered them.
I wonder if he said something to the effect of “no i will not participate in your stupid fake peace process, if you want to stop supporting us, say it with your full chest to your own country where I have a higher approval rating than you.”
Putin is putting a lot of pressure on them to make this deal. Elon’s kids could be kidnapped, or his parents. Putin isn’t messing around. They are in deep shit. What Elon keeps thinking is National Treasure meets The Hangover meets Austin Powers with him as this “funny but lovable” space villain who is just being a little rascal, is a delusion. And when Putin reminds him that this is actually real life with real consequences, it triggers his substance use issues and other narcissistic abuse issues. He is seriously in deep shit, they are messing with BRICS mafias and mobs that are part of official state governments that have nukes. It’s not good for them
Kidnapped? He probably lost track of the other 12 that he isn’t using as photo op props in the Oval Office.
That he has 12 kids means it’s easier and more likely one will be kidnapped than if he only had 2
I don’t get the impression he gives a shit about his kids.
If this were the 1930s, Musk would be blaming Poland for not submitting to the Nazis in the same way.
It’s so bizarre that this lunatic has managed to have any success in life. Any at all.
Not really. He was born wealthy, remember?
Diamonds are forever, but emeralds are for fascists.
And went on to make a cult of fanatics.
I don’t want to call for anything illegal here but Elon Musk has to go somehow or some way. He’s a danger to the western world. He is compromisable and a facist.
I am currently rooting for ketamine to win this battle in the war on drugs
HE HAS TO BE KILLED. IN MINECRAFT
there is NO OTHER REASONABLE OPTION
allegedly
Ostrich fucker!
(in Minecraft)
Also, Marc Bankston should be gleefully taking $400+B from him in slander and defamation lawsuits
This is literally a Russian talking point! “If you care about these soldiers, you’d end the war quickly!”
In other words, give Russia the land they stole and reward them for all the men, woman and children they have murdered, tortured, raped, and stolen as well as all the destruction they caused! If you do that, Russia will do this again, and it might be your country! Please support Ukraine because I think the US will actively help Putin now…
It’s because they are literally owned by Russia. Here’s an old post of mine with reputable sources: https://lemmy.world/comment/13431373
So, musk and co. are eating dead people. On brand.
elon musk should make autonomous weapons. Don’t need to test, move fast and break things, will work fine:
Insane how they’re not even trying to “both sides” it, saying the Russians have some culpability for the war. Nope, just shamelessly supporting a Russian dictator.
Why is anybody listening to that little Muskrat? Guy needs to be put in a rocket and shipped to Mars so we dont have to listen to his manic rantings. I feel sorry for his 12 kids .
13 kids*
Because money is speech and he has more of it to shove down the worlds throat than literally anyone else.

Instead of Mars how about straight into the void of space?
I have to say I find this somewhat curious. Why is Musk aligning with Putin? I don’t think it’s just to echo Trump, but I also don’t see how it’s in his interest to do so. Being pro-russian is not exactly popular among Americans, across the whole political spectrum, and neither it is among allied nations. Does Putin have some kind of insane leverage, or what’s in it for Musk?
Is he just so deep in his delusion that the world is his own shitposting messageboard that he’s too busy being edgy to realize he’s committing suicide?
He sees a model of oligarchy he likes. What else is needed? He has more money than anyone could ever spend in a thousand lifetimes. But now he has power, and it was so, so easy for him.
I think this is it, Musk is playing a different game than most of the others.
He knows that there are very few dollars left to squeeze out of the free market… So he is getting in on the ground floor of a new type of oligarch fascism he likes. Now he can not only control his competition, but the very basis of USD value itself… If you the think his stock market and crypto scams were bad, you haven’t seen nothing yet.
There is lots of money left, but after you used the cheat code and have unlimited money what is the point for a megalomaniac. The only way he can move forward is to make everyone poorer. This is the new plan.
Allegedly, he was given liquid capital by Russian oligarchs to buy Twitter when the courts ruled that he was obligated to buy it. He might be rich, but that kind of money wasn’t just sitting in his checking account. It was his company valuations.
Once he got tangled into Twitter, that’s when he seemed to really go off the deep end.
I don’t think Musk is aligning with Putin. The crux of the issue is European countries do not have a plan. They provide very limited support to Ukraine which results in many Ukrainian casualties and loss of territory day after day.
Better than feeding off the dead bodies of children, like Republicans do.
This all is not going to end well for Elon Musk.
Best case scenario this will not end well for Elon. Worst case scenario this will not end well for the world and we’ll all die in nuclear war or something.
Is it allowed to say that I honestly can’t wait to see Elon gone from this planet? What a piece of shit human being ugh
If you know anyone that uses twitter, try as hard as you can to take them out of there.
