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.

    While this scumbag is acting president his companies should not be allowed to operate in the EU. Ban all of them and confiscate any EU based assets.

    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.

      he’s often touted as a founder of Tesla, but he wasn’t a founder. He bought it. Much like all the other projects he’s got. He hasn’t created anything in his life. He was born rich, and inherited many many millions of dollars. He’s nazi scum.

    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.”

    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…
