We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

I do not understand why Ukraine, with Poland, continue to use Starlink. WTF, Leon is in bed with the fucking neo-Nazis and Russians.

No alternatives. And I'm not only talking about the military - some schools, kindergartners and other institutions use them in the places, where it would be very hard/impossible to use regular wired network.

I'm sure Ukraine does hate Musk because he's a piece of shit who parrots Russian propaganda and sells Starlink terminals to the Russian military

While this scumbag is acting president his companies should not be allowed to operate in the EU. Ban all of them and confiscate any EU based assets.

We're going to need one hell of a canon

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.

Dare to dream.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

Yeah. Russian bodies mostly. That's why he's so angry.

Musk is a grifter that has never created anything in his life m. He has leeched off other’s creations thanks to the emerald spoon he was born with

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

he's often touted as a founder of Tesla, but he wasn't a founder. He bought it. Much like all the other projects he's got. He hasn't created anything in his life. He was born rich, and inherited many many millions of dollars. He's nazi scum.

Luck plays a part, but Musk does seem to be skilled in choosing the right people to give money to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Musk can suck my farts

Guys a loser who would be a hobo if he wasn't born into money.
