Musk also threatened changes to Community Notes on X as Trump administration has sought to falsely portray Ukrainian president as a ‘dictator’

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.

          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.

              The person I was discussing with stated he’s not sure the car could be any lower, to which I reply it can be.

              Eating animals contributes to the killing of billions of land animals and tens of billions of fish on a yearly basis. Most of them are raised in terrible conditions in factory farms.

            Getting people to switch is honestly a little complicated. People haven’t switched to Mastodon because the accounts they follow aren’t on Mastodon, but the accounts aren’t on Mastodon because the people who follow them aren’t there.

            If you want to help, it might be beneficial to reach out to the accounts you follow and tell them you’d like to see them on Mastodon too.
