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.

      You don’t support them ideologically, but you are supporting one by giving ad viewership and personal data revenue to Elon Musk. Supporting a Nazi doesn’t just mean you post good things about them online, and talk good about them in person. You support them monetarily by using their platform.

        First of all it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi. How many people have been sent to concentration camps recently?

        Furthermore, you are talking about indirect support. I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.

          It has been seen.

          I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.

          Yes and when I recognize my avenues of support, I switch away and stop supporting things I don’t like. I don’t make excuses to keep using Dogshit.

            How many people have been sent to camps by the alleged Nazis?

            Oh really? So you’re consuming nothing that comes from the US? By the way, do you participate in the animal genocide? Billions slaughtered every year…

      No. I can call out your support of Nazis without being an angel. It’s your actions that are getting criticized, not you.

      Try again.

        Unless your actions are irreproachable in all aspects of life, focus on bettering yourself first.
