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.

            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…

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

              Soon to be 40,000 immigrants sent to Guantanamo, and 40,000 more to be put in the worst El Salvadorian prison, even if they are not El salvadorian.

              So you’re consuming nothing that comes from the US? By the way, do you participate in the animal genocide?

              This is a classist argument, this is not something you can even often choose to do if you live in a food desert, or are too impoverished to afford anything more than the subsidized US factory made scraps. It costs nothing to quit Twitter on the other hand, you’re just an addict.

              But! I’m lucky enough to have local farmer’s markets out every day near me, and the money to support them. Why would I not consume from the U.S.? I get to see the farms I buy from and meet these people, I have fed peanuts to Praggle’s alpacas and pet their cows. They are local and I have seen that they don’t abuse their animals, so I support them, yes. They treat their animals right and I buy their shit. I also don’t digest gluten and have to make essentially everything I eat myself because of that so it’s not even entirely an option for me to buy processed mass manufactured garbage.

                Thank you for confirming 0 people have been sent to camps.

                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.

                So you do participate in the animal genocide, you don’t even feel bad about it. Seems to me you quickly forgot about not making excuses… I’m not surprised though.

      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.

          Great advice from someone that openly admits to supporting a Nazi website because they can’t be arsed with missing a tweet from Billie Eilish.
