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 do not understand why Ukraine, with Poland, continue to use Starlink. WTF, Leon is in bed with the fucking neo-Nazis and Russians.

No alternatives. And I'm not only talking about the military - some schools, kindergartners and other institutions use them in the places, where it would be very hard/impossible to use regular wired network.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 24 points 3 hours ago

Musk is a Nazi piece of shit.

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

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'm sure Ukraine does hate Musk because he's a piece of shit who parrots Russian propaganda and sells Starlink terminals to the Russian military

Musk is a grifter that has never created anything in his life m. He has leeched off other’s creations thanks to the emerald spoon he was born with

[-] aeternum 11 points 3 hours ago

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.

Luck plays a part, but Musk does seem to be skilled in choosing the right people to give money to.

[-] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 12 points 13 hours ago

If you know anyone that uses twitter, try as hard as you can to take them out of there.

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.”

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

An an American I agree, I think a exponentially more of Zelenakyy than fuck wit trump and Nazi musk

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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

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

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] Generic_Idiot@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

How wild is it that any women would let Elon sploodge inside her?

It’s fucking disgusting.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

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

[-] cloud_herder@lemmy.world 18 points 17 hours ago

Kidnapped? He probably lost track of the other 12 that he isn’t using as photo op props in the Oval Office.

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...

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

It's either this, or the buzzwords using"Western countries did this or that", it's the same thing tulsi said a while back on a poc right wingers channel

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

It's because they are literally owned by Russia. Here's an old post of mine with reputable sources: https://lemmy.world/comment/13431373
