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.
Man I just love that our dumb fuck leaders are regurgitating Kremlin lies for our dumb fuck citizens to lap up like dogs.
I heard his approval rating is insanely low for a president this early in their term. Unfortunately it doesn’t mean so much now but at least there are folks in the USA not lapping it up, no idea where they were on election day though.
It doesn’t matter how low it is, he has that 30% locked in.
It will literally take him destroying their lives for any of them to change, and a bulk of them will still never change, much like the COVID deniers who denied it’s existence up to their last breath when COVID killed them.
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
-Carl Sagan
God damn, Carl Sagan 360 no scoping the 2020s from the 80s and 90s.
I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.
Yeah Sagan did that kind of a lot.
This is such a fantastic and prescient book.
It also doesn’t matter 'cause they got elected, so they don’t care anymore. They’ll spend the next two years transferring as much power to the Whitehouse as possible, so that it doesn’t even matter in the midterms. The very clearly will try to get a third term movement going. It’s straight out of the Hungarian and Belarussian playbook - it’s not fantasy.
According to https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/ he still has a net positive rating.
The great thing is that it doesn’t matter how high that disprove number goes, he’s already in power as is Musk who we didn’t even vote for.
Absolutely true, yes.
No need to insult the dogs, bro. “lap up like MAGAts” will do fine.
I’d gladly take a cabinet of golden retrievers over what we go.
Block X.
Any country that is running an election needs to block X right away.

Money.
So much money that my brain is incapable of truly understanding what it would look like in cash.
His net worth is about 17% of all the cash in circulation in the US. One asshole.
Which is a fun trivia but a bit irrelevant. His net worth is in overvalued tesla shares, it’s not like his owns 17% of all dollar bills, stored in a huge swimming pool.
For a brief while, Max Fosh had a higher net worth than him.
Just to give you some perspective. One hundred million dollars in 100 dollar bills would be a pallet stacked about 4 feet high. A semi trailer could hold about 56 of those pallets, or $5.6B. As of today, Forbes says Elon is worth $384B, which would be about 68.5 semi trailers full of $100 bills.
But I’m sure more would materially improve his life.

Trump is out for blood this term, and even the slightest hint of dissention will get you fired and dragged through the razors.Other than pandering, notice how quiet the GOP has been lately.
Seriously, what’s the point in keeping it around? There’s really very little if any upside.
Block
XElon.I also block any news source that uses X as the main delivery of whatever their article was about. It’s been a bloodbath.
What a fascist cunt.
One is defending his homeland from an oppressive and authoritarian regime.
The other sells cars that drive people into walls and fire trucks, then cancels the people investigating and regulating his company.
Who feeds off dead bodies?
Happy cake day.
Holy shit Zelenskyy appears to have seriously triggered them.
I wonder if he said something to the effect of “no i will not participate in your stupid fake peace process, if you want to stop supporting us, say it with your full chest to your own country where I have a higher approval rating than you.”
An an American I agree, I think a exponentially more of Zelenakyy than fuck wit trump and Nazi musk
Putin is putting a lot of pressure on them to make this deal. Elon’s kids could be kidnapped, or his parents. Putin isn’t messing around. They are in deep shit. What Elon keeps thinking is National Treasure meets The Hangover meets Austin Powers with him as this “funny but lovable” space villain who is just being a little rascal, is a delusion. And when Putin reminds him that this is actually real life with real consequences, it triggers his substance use issues and other narcissistic abuse issues. He is seriously in deep shit, they are messing with BRICS mafias and mobs that are part of official state governments that have nukes. It’s not good for them
Kidnapped? He probably lost track of the other 12 that he isn’t using as photo op props in the Oval Office.
That he has 12 kids means it’s easier and more likely one will be kidnapped than if he only had 2
I don’t get the impression he gives a shit about his kids.
He seems quite fond of little Kevlar.
Elon doesn’t care about anyone or anything other than getting richer… and himself of course.
And his investors and the board members of his companies do care at that type of negative press
Elon has too many kids with random people and can easily become an asset/target
Doesn’t that asume he cares about his kids (in a capacity more than a human shield)?
I don’t think he cares about his children, he uses the current one as a human shield,
Elon has too many kids with random people and can easily become an asset/target
How wild is it that any women would let Elon sploodge inside her?
It’s fucking disgusting.
Wierd part is it was ivf. Dude is closet something.

If this were the 1930s, Musk would be blaming Poland for not submitting to the Nazis in the same way.
It still baffles me that the party that wraps itself in the American flag and calls themselves “Patriots” seem to have no problem what so ever in letting a non-elected immigrant run the country.
*Non-elected illegal immigrant
Non-elected illegal white immigrant.
Checkmate, atheists!
It baffles me that a “news” site with a storm trooper helmet is treated as a source in that tweet.
T the irony of storm troopers being empire drones representing “freedom” of any sort.
It’s so bizarre that this lunatic has managed to have any success in life. Any at all.
Not really. He was born wealthy, remember?
And went on to make a cult of fanatics.
Diamonds are forever, but emeralds are for fascists.
Did you forget the part of being born wealthy and handed everything?
He knows we can talk to the people of Ukraine, doesn’t he? Like, it’s not like the olden days where very few people ever directly communicated with people from other countries. You can’t just pretend we don’t know how they feel about stuff.
Elections are suspended because no one has time to “run an election”. Basically, that is not at all what is important right now. A much larger and more powerful country is literally trying to erase them. It’s so far failing to do so in a staggering way that is probably super embarrassing. Ukraine is not doing OK in the grander sense, of course, but they are doing way better than anyone would have expected, especially the Ukrainian people. Zelensky has managed to maintain both support and respect, but more importantly, morale.
Zelensky is a big problem to Russia, you know how you can tell? Listen to Elon and Trump talk about him…
Elections are suspended because no one has time to “run an election”.
And also (if I’ve understood correctly) it’s straight up impossible by Ukrainian laws to run elections when martial law is active. They’ll hold democratic elections eventually and choose the next president but until then Zelenskyi is sitting president. Things run just like their laws mandate.
In some other country there’s memecoin agency operating without any legal oversight with considerable power, maybe look on to that first…
It´s why they want a cease fire and a peace agreement, so martial law stops and elections can start again. That doesn´t do away with the whole discussion about what regions of Ukraine are then valid to do an election, such as Crimea, or what to do with all the refugees in other countries.
Did Crimear participate in the last election?
HE HAS TO BE KILLED. IN MINECRAFT
there is NO OTHER REASONABLE OPTION

Ostrich fucker!

Also, Marc Bankston should be gleefully taking $400+B from him in slander and defamation lawsuits
I don’t want to call for anything illegal here but Elon Musk has to go somehow or some way. He’s a danger to the western world. He is compromisable and a facist.
I am currently rooting for ketamine to win this battle in the war on drugs
Can you overdose on ketamine?
I’ve injected a fair bit (accidentally) on one occasion. Took me a while to work out who I was and what had happened, but I was fine after a bit. But TBF you can overdose on pretty much anything if you take enough.
even water. There’s such a thing as water toxicity. It dilutes your electrolytes so much that you can die. But tbh, I think if you drank that much water, electrolytes are the least of your worries.
Yeah I’ve heard of people dying that way. I believe you can actually get something like drunkenness from water - although you’d have to drink a lot, and you’d probably die not long after experiencing the sensation.
Too much of anything is going to fuck someone up proper.
I heard you become anesthesized long before that. Maybe alcohol or cocaine can do it
So, musk and co. are eating dead people. On brand.
Fuck that south African Nazi scum
Musk is a Nazi piece of shit.
totally, but this is a broken clock moment
I starting to genuinely wonder if we’ll see Musk getting executed in my lifetime. Either by lynching/angry mob Mussolini style or an actual judicial process leading to death penalty.
Ask Luigi.
We don’t need to ask Luigi.
He already showed us what to do. We can be even more effective than Luigi by just having more people rising up Caesar-style.
Dare to dream.
I think Trump might have him killed
Depends on whether he manages to create the 4th Reich with Putin or whether Europe wins the upcoming war.
Perhaps he manages to piss off the rednecks and they lynch him, but so far they seem to love it. Then again the consequences may not really be felt by them yet.
