Musk and Trump unite in critique of Zelensky's leadership
Recently, Elon Musk has become known for a series of unfavourable statements about Ukraine and its president. Internet users reminded him of a post he made on platform X right after the war broke out, which supported Ukraine.
Musk, through his statements, is supporting the U.S. president, who recently adopted a strategy of discussing peace in Ukraine without Kyiv's involvement.
Three years ago, right after the war in Ukraine erupted, Elon Musk posted a message on platform X supporting the Ukrainians. "Maintain a strong Ukraine," he wrote. Internet users are now reminding the billionaire of his archival social media post and asking what has happened to him since then.
"Russia went too far 3 years ago, now the Ukrainian government has gone too far," Musk stated in response. "Endless death in trenches is wrong and anyone who continues to push that lacks both empathy and a brain," he added.
The Trump administration strikes at Zelensky
Donald Trump and his administration have not stopped publicly criticizing Volodymyr Zelensky for several days.
Elon Musk stated that the Ukrainians hate President Zelensky, so Volodymyr Zelensky refuses to hold elections. The billionaire also supports Trump ignoring Zelensky when discussing the end of the war.
In a post on TruthSocial, Trump sharply criticized Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a "dictator without elections" and urging swift action, "or else he won’t have a country." The U.S. president also accused the Ukrainian leader of dragging the U.S. into a "war that cannot be won."
When asked about these remarks on Fox News, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz stated that President Trump had made his position clear—he aims to bring the war to an end, but it requires the involvement of all parties.
Vice President J.D. Vance, meanwhile, criticized Zelensky for his public remarks about Donald Trump, calling them "a terrible way" to handle relations with the U.S. administration.
