US: In the midst of escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia, Elon Musk has once again voiced his disapproval of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s approach to the conflict. The billionaire entrepreneur, known for his outspoken views, has been critical of Zelensky’s decision-making, particularly in the context of a recent high-stakes meeting at the White House. This meeting, which included U.S. President Donald Trump and JD Vance, highlighted the deep divisions over how to handle the ongoing war.
Musk’s criticism centers on his belief that Ukraine should prioritize diplomacy over conflict. He has repeatedly suggested that Ukraine should seek peace, warning that failure to do so would result in severe loss of life without tangible gains. Musk’s stance has been consistent since October 2022, when he proposed a peace plan that included measures such as redoing elections in annexed regions under UN supervision and recognizing Crimea as part of Russia. This plan was met with significant backlash from Ukrainian officials, who accused Musk of echoing Russian propaganda.
In recent posts, Musk has accused Zelensky of running a “massive graft machine feeding off the dead bodies of Ukrainian soldiers,” further escalating tensions. He also criticized Zelensky for participating in a 2022 Vogue photoshoot, saying it was inappropriate given the ongoing war. Musk’s comments align with Trump’s stance on the Ukraine conflict, which emphasizes the need for negotiations with Russia.
The situation is further complicated by the postponement of elections in Ukraine, which Musk has used to question Zelensky’s legitimacy. Musk argues that without free elections, Zelensky cannot claim to represent the will of the Ukrainian people. This criticism comes as Trump faces scrutiny for his own stance on Ukraine, with Musk’s support being highlighted as a point of alignment between the two figures.
