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.
His net worth is about 17% of all the cash in circulation in the US. One asshole.
Which is a fun trivia but a bit irrelevant. His net worth is in overvalued tesla shares, it’s not like his owns 17% of all dollar bills, stored in a huge swimming pool.
For a brief while, Max Fosh had a higher net worth than him.
