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.

        Because that is where most politicians and political commentators are.

          Out of curiosity, if Kanye West opens a book club for reading Mein Kampf, would you join it to keep up to date with unfiltered political analysis by a piece of shit? If the answer is no, maybe you should reconsider your stance on X.

              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.
