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.

      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…

                  I do not support Nazis.

                  When your life is perfect, you can criticize me.

                    You don’t support them ideologically, but you are supporting one by giving ad viewership and personal data revenue to Elon Musk. Supporting a Nazi doesn’t just mean you post good things about them online, and talk good about them in person. You support them monetarily by using their platform.

      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.

              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.
