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.
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.
According to https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/ he still has a net positive rating.
The great thing is that it doesn’t matter how high that disprove number goes, he’s already in power as is Musk who we didn’t even vote for.
Absolutely true, yes.
No need to insult the dogs, bro. “lap up like MAGAts” will do fine.
I’d gladly take a cabinet of golden retrievers over what we go.
Block X.
Any country that is running an election needs to block X right away.
100% why tf is this man given so much power?
Money.
So much money that my brain is incapable of truly understanding what it would look like in cash.
His net worth is about 17% of all the cash in circulation in the US. One asshole.
Which is a fun trivia but a bit irrelevant. His net worth is in overvalued tesla shares, it’s not like his owns 17% of all dollar bills, stored in a huge swimming pool.
For a brief while, Max Fosh had a higher net worth than him.
Just to give you some perspective. One hundred million dollars in 100 dollar bills would be a pallet stacked about 4 feet high. A semi trailer could hold about 56 of those pallets, or $5.6B. As of today, Forbes says Elon is worth $384B, which would be about 68.5 semi trailers full of $100 bills.
But I’m sure more would materially improve his life.

Trump is out for blood this term, and even the slightest hint of dissention will get you fired and dragged through the razors.Other than pandering, notice how quiet the GOP has been lately.
Seriously, what’s the point in keeping it around? There’s really very little if any upside.
Block
XElon.I also block any news source that uses X as the main delivery of whatever their article was about. It’s been a bloodbath.
What a fascist cunt.
If by now you’re still on X, you’re actively part of the problem. No more excuses.
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.
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.
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?
Happy cake day.
If this were the 1930s, Musk would be blaming Poland for not submitting to the Nazis in the same way.
It still baffles me that the party that wraps itself in the American flag and calls themselves “Patriots” seem to have no problem what so ever in letting a non-elected immigrant run the country.
*Non-elected illegal immigrant
Non-elected illegal white immigrant.
Checkmate, atheists!
It baffles me that a “news” site with a storm trooper helmet is treated as a source in that tweet.
T the irony of storm troopers being empire drones representing “freedom” of any sort.
It’s so bizarre that this lunatic has managed to have any success in life. Any at all.
Not really. He was born wealthy, remember?
Diamonds are forever, but emeralds are for fascists.
And went on to make a cult of fanatics.
Did you forget the part of being born wealthy and handed everything?
He knows we can talk to the people of Ukraine, doesn’t he? Like, it’s not like the olden days where very few people ever directly communicated with people from other countries. You can’t just pretend we don’t know how they feel about stuff.
Elections are suspended because no one has time to “run an election”. Basically, that is not at all what is important right now. A much larger and more powerful country is literally trying to erase them. It’s so far failing to do so in a staggering way that is probably super embarrassing. Ukraine is not doing OK in the grander sense, of course, but they are doing way better than anyone would have expected, especially the Ukrainian people. Zelensky has managed to maintain both support and respect, but more importantly, morale.
Zelensky is a big problem to Russia, you know how you can tell? Listen to Elon and Trump talk about him…
Elections are suspended because no one has time to “run an election”.
And also (if I’ve understood correctly) it’s straight up impossible by Ukrainian laws to run elections when martial law is active. They’ll hold democratic elections eventually and choose the next president but until then Zelenskyi is sitting president. Things run just like their laws mandate.
In some other country there’s memecoin agency operating without any legal oversight with considerable power, maybe look on to that first…
It´s why they want a cease fire and a peace agreement, so martial law stops and elections can start again. That doesn´t do away with the whole discussion about what regions of Ukraine are then valid to do an election, such as Crimea, or what to do with all the refugees in other countries.
Did Crimear participate in the last election?
HE HAS TO BE KILLED. IN MINECRAFT
there is NO OTHER REASONABLE OPTION
allegedly
Ostrich fucker!
(in Minecraft)
Also, Marc Bankston should be gleefully taking $400+B from him in slander and defamation lawsuits
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
So, musk and co. are eating dead people. On brand.
This is literally a Russian talking point! “If you care about these soldiers, you’d end the war quickly!”
In other words, give Russia the land they stole and reward them for all the men, woman and children they have murdered, tortured, raped, and stolen as well as all the destruction they caused! If you do that, Russia will do this again, and it might be your country! Please support Ukraine because I think the US will actively help Putin now…
It’s because they are literally owned by Russia. Here’s an old post of mine with reputable sources: https://lemmy.world/comment/13431373
It’s either this, or the buzzwords using"Western countries did this or that", it’s the same thing tulsi said a while back on a poc right wingers channel
Fuck that south African Nazi scum
Musk is a Nazi piece of shit.
totally, but this is a broken clock moment
