London – The controversial Elon Musk on social media may be another eccentricity, but President Volodymyr Zelensky angrily reacted to a tweet by the billionaire about the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Musk published a poll in the form of a poll asking his 107 million followers for their views on ideas to end the conflict – one of them holding UN-supervised elections in the four regions Moscow has annexed.
The Ukrainian president’s response used the same poll format and asked yes or no to the question: “Which @elonmusk do you like the most? – Supporting Ukraine, supporting Russia?”
Musk proposes referendum in Ukraine
Musk’s poll suggests the election and Russia leaving the occupied territories if that’s what the people want. He goes on to suggest that Crimea is officially part of Russia, “as it was from 1783 to Khrushchev’s fault.”
In 1954, the Soviet government transferred Crimea from the Russian Federation of Socialist Republics (RSFSR) to the Ukrainian Soviet Union.
Elon Musk has called for the water supply to be restored in Crimea and for Ukraine to “remain neutral” before joining NATO.
Ukraine-Russia Peace:
– Re-election of annexed territories under UN supervision. Russia will go if that is the will of the people.
– Crimea is officially part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
– Water supply to Crimea was secured.
– Ukraine remains neutral.

Elon Musk took part in another poll that suggested holding a referendum for people living in the Donbas and Crimea to decide whether they want to be part of Russia or Ukraine.

He put a bucket of cold water on the idea that Ukraine could win the war, and in a post pinned to his account, stated that if Russia risks losing Crimea, it can engage in full mobilization, with devastating deaths for both. . they burn.
He concludes by stating that Russia has three times the population of Ukraine, “so victory in a war is unlikely.” The billionaire does not directly address President Zelensky or Ukraine, but writes:
“If you care about the Ukrainian people, seek peace.”
Russia is making partial mobilization. If Crimea is at risk, they go to full war mobilization. Death will be devastating on both sides.
Since Russia’s population is more than 3 times that of Ukraine, it is unlikely that Ukraine will triumph in the total war. If you care about the Ukrainian people, seek peace.

President Zelensky also joined the fray and responded with irony by emphasizing the billionaire’s alleged support for Russia.

The war spread on social media. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said:
“Dear Elon Musk, when someone tries to steal your Tesla wheels, that doesn’t make you the legal owner of the car or the wheels. Even if they both claim to have voted for it.”
Andriy Melnyk, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Germany, reacted sharply to Musk’s “peace plan” research, saying “no Ukrainian will ever buy Tesla.”
And he put aside the grace to answer the billionaire:
“F*** you’re my diplomatic response to you.”
Since the early days of the war, Musk has supplied Starlink antennas to Ukraine, a network that has proven crucial in supporting infrastructure across Ukraine while tackling disinformation from Russia.
Mocking about the war, the businessman prepares for his personal battle involving the Twitter buyout. On the 17th, the lawsuit begins, which will decide whether the platform will have to continue its purchase. 44 billion dollars.
Elon Musk is trying to discourage the purchase, claiming that the actual number of users is inflated and this jeopardizes the value of the deal.
