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

[-] cloud_herder@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

I don’t get the impression he gives a shit about his kids.

He seems quite fond of little Kevlar.

Elon doesn't care about anyone or anything other than getting richer.... and himself of course.

[-] clutchtwopointzero@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And his investors and the board members of his companies do care at that type of negative press

Elon has too many kids with random people and can easily become an asset/target

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Doesn't that asume he cares about his kids (in a capacity more than a human shield)?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I don't think he cares about his children, he uses the current one as a human shield,
