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…
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.
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?
What public figure are you following on exclusively Twitter that is important enough to stay there?
He cant get one. They don’t has gas station gossip magazines in Russia.
About 80 journalists, politicians and political analysts.
As suggested by a couple helpful people here I will check if they have blue sky accounts and will encourage them to setup a Mastodon account.
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.
They probably have websites where they post news
Or like a content aggregator where people post links to news and discuss it. I wonder where I can find one of them,
Many, like Régis Le Sommer, do not.
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
You might have to miss out for a bit, but once they start noticing a significant drop they’ll move somewhere else. People with “public personalities” want to be seen and heard, they’ll go where people can see and hear them.
I’m willing to miss out on a few of them if I can find most of them somewhere else.

Why are you mean?
Why are you still on a Nazi site?
Because that is where most politicians and political commentators are.
Out of curiosity, if Kanye West opens a book club for reading Mein Kampf, would you join it to keep up to date with unfiltered political analysis by a piece of shit? If the answer is no, maybe you should reconsider your stance on X.
I am not interested in Kanye West’s opinions.
Per your other comment
I see where the cognitive dissonance kicks in. You do not want to be mistaken for a nazi sympathizer, but refuse to distance yourself from them on some basis of believed plausible deniability. Is it perhaps because you are indeed sympathetic to some of their fascist talking points?
What? I’ve never cared about Kanye West.
