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.
Musk is a Nazi piece of shit.
totally, but this is a broken clock moment
Is it allowed to say that I honestly can’t wait to see Elon gone from this planet? What a piece of shit human being ugh
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.
It also doesn’t matter 'cause they got elected, so they don’t care anymore. They’ll spend the next two years transferring as much power to the Whitehouse as possible, so that it doesn’t even matter in the midterms. The very clearly will try to get a third term movement going. It’s straight out of the Hungarian and Belarussian playbook - it’s not fantasy.
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 investigating and regulating his company.
Who feeds off dead bodies?
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.
Ask Luigi.
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.
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

Luck plays a part, but Musk does seem to be skilled in choosing the right people to give money to.
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.
I am currently rooting for ketamine to win this battle in the war on drugs
Can you overdose on ketamine?
I’ve injected a fair bit (accidentally) on one occasion. Took me a while to work out who I was and what had happened, but I was fine after a bit. But TBF you can overdose on pretty much anything if you take enough.

Yeah I’ve heard of people dying that way. I believe you can actually get something like drunkenness from water - although you’d have to drink a lot, and you’d probably die not long after experiencing the sensation.
Too much of anything is going to fuck someone up proper.
Holy shit Zelenskyy appears to have seriously triggered them.
I wonder if he said something to the effect of “no i will not participate in your stupid fake peace process, if you want to stop supporting us, say it with your full chest to your own country where I have a higher approval rating than you.”

If by now you’re still on X, you’re actively part of the problem. No more excuses.
Have you found an alternative where I can follow most public personalities that I currently follow on X?
Edit 4 days later: I came across https://openportability.org/ and used it to gather my following list on X and follow them on Bluesky and Mastodon. 3 people found on Bluesky and 0 on Mastodon…
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.
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.
I can’t remember my user name. To reset my password I need to enter my user name…
Can’t you enter the email you used to sign up?
Either way, you probably could use a password manager in your life ✨😁✨ Life changer.
I only want to access the account so I can delete it.
Right. You want to login so you can delete it. Try the email you used to sign up, instead of the username. 🙂
Edit: I’m dumb. Right, you’re stuck. 🫠 That’s a shame.
