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 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.
elon musk should make autonomous weapons. Don’t need to test, move fast and break things, will work fine:
Better than feeding off the dead bodies of children, like Republicans do.
HE HAS TO BE KILLED.
there is NO OTHER REASONABLE OPTION.
(in Minecraft)
allegedly
Also, Marc Bankston should be gleefully taking $400+B from him in slander and defamation lawsuits
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?
Diamonds are forever, but emeralds are for fascists.
And went on to make a cult of fanatics.
If this were the 1930s, Musk would be blaming Poland for not submitting to the Nazis in the same way.
So, musk and co. are eating dead people. On brand.
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 regulating his company.
Who feeds off dead bodies?
Happy cake day.
If by now you’re still on X, you’re actively part of the problem. No more excuses.
I will delete my account as soon as I get the chance. I mean I don’t use it at all, but I think it’s important now to actively remove it.
Have you found an alternative where I can follow most public personalities that I currently follow on X?
Really? You need these personalities in your life?
I like to stay informed about politics and prefer to read content straight from politicians and political analysts.
Yes. Just shove your head up your ass. You won’t miss a beat.
Why are you mean?
Any public personality that stays on x is not worth following.
Yeah, your local gas station gossip magazine you pop culture addict
Why are you mean?
A lot of them are on Bluesky by now, and the rest? Fuck em
Exactly. Bluesky is not ideal by any means, and could turn into a another “X” down the line, but it’s the best alternative to avoid it right now. It’s also pretty popular, with some posts from famous people raking in as much engagement as Edgelord Musk on X.
So you’ll keep giving money to Musk because X is convenient?
I don’t give money to Musk.
Not directly, but you’re contributing to the profit of the platform.
Yes, nobody’s perfect.
“You support Nazis.”
“I do. Nobody’s perfect.”
I do not support Nazis.
When your life is perfect, you can criticize me.
There’s perfect, and then there’s “Sure I’m supporting a genocidal, Nazi lunatic destroying global democracy, but like… how else will I hear about what public personalities had for lunch?”.
Not sure the bar could be any lower.
Do you eat animals?
I just want you to make an informed decision mate
Thank you. I asked in good faith, I am exploring Mastodon and looking for the accounts I follow on X but a lot are missing unfortunately.
Jesus fucking christ
I thought he was dead
You should keep reading, you’ll like the plot twist…
He came back to life, then popped out for milk and a packet of cigs and will have been back any minute now for the last twenty centuries, pinky swear promise
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.
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.
Fuck that south African Nazi scum
wild way to spell russia.
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?
Block X.
Any country that is running an election needs to block X right away.
Seriously, what’s the point in keeping it around? There’s really very little if any upside.
100% why tf is this man given so much power?
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.
Because no one has the sack to put a stop to it.
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.
Block
XElon.
In a country known for guns, poor mental health care and prideful morons you’d figure this fuck face would be dead already. No one willing to take one for the team, eh? Me either.
Tbh, at this point if it was the Army I wouldn’t even see it as a coup
I bought some tesla puts lol. Literally banking on this.
