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.

    He talks like a nazi, walks like a nazi and does sieg heil like a nazi. Yet you say that the verdict is still out on him being a nazi. Being this ignorant is usually willful and your reservations about being truthful about him does not portray you well. “Weird affection” was the nicest interpretation I could think of.

      Elon Musk doesn’t hate the Jews nor does he wish to expand German territory. Weren’t those pillars of the Nazi ideology?
