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.

    I starting to genuinely wonder if we’ll see Musk getting executed in my lifetime. Either by lynching/angry mob Mussolini style or an actual judicial process leading to death penalty.

        We don’t need to ask Luigi.

        He already showed us what to do. We can be even more effective than Luigi by just having more people rising up Caesar-style.

      Depends on whether he manages to create the 4th Reich with Putin or whether Europe wins the upcoming war.

      Perhaps he manages to piss off the rednecks and they lynch him, but so far they seem to love it. Then again the consequences may not really be felt by them yet.
