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.

    Per your other comment

    First of all it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi.

    I see where the cognitive dissonance kicks in. You do not want to be mistaken for a nazi sympathizer, but refuse to distance yourself from them on some basis of believed plausible deniability. Is it perhaps because you are indeed sympathetic to some of their fascist talking points?

        Never said you did. However, we are indeed using that shithead to bisect your weird affection for X and the comparable shithead Elon Musk.

          LOL I don’t have a weird affection for X nor Elon Musk. It’s weird to suggest that.

            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?
