USA – Billionaire Elon Musk on Monday asked Twitter users to weigh in on Russia’s plans to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, which drew immediate condemnation from Ukrainians, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who responded with its own poll.

“Which @elonmusk do you prefer?” Zelenskyy tweeted, giving two responses: one pro-Ukraine, one pro-Russia.

Musk, the world’s richest man, has proposed UN-supervised elections in four occupied regions that Moscow last week moved to annex after a so-called referendum. The votes have been denounced by Kyiv and Western governments as illegitimate and coercive.

“Russia leaves if it is the will of the people,” Musk wrote, a scenario that seems unlikely.

The Tesla The Inc executive suggested that Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014, be officially recognized as Russian, the water supply to Crimea be guaranteed and Ukraine remain neutral, instead of joining NATO. He asked Twitter users to vote “yes” or “no” for the plan.

“Dear @Elonmusk, when someone tries to steal your Tesla wheel, it doesn’t make them the rightful owner of the car or of the wheel. Although they claim both voted in favor of it. Just say it,” Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda tweeted in response.

Musk, who is also the CEO of SpaceX, followed up his first tweet with another poll: “Then try this: the will of people living in Donbas & Crimea should decide if they are part of Russia or Ukraine.”

He said he didn’t care if his proposal was unpopular, arguing that he was concerned “that millions of people could die needlessly because of a fundamental outcome.” same.”

“Russia has 3 times the population of Ukraine, so victory for Ukraine is unlikely in total war. If you care about the Ukrainian people, seek peace,” he posted on Twitter.

In February, when Ukraine’s internet was disrupted following the Russian invasion, Musk responded to a tweet by a Ukrainian government official seeking help. Musk said SpaceX’s Starlink satellite broadband service is already in Ukraine, and SpaceX is sending more terminals to the country.

Ukraine’s outgoing ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, had a candid response to Musk’s peace plan. Melnyk himself faced criticism in July for defending Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera during World War Two.

“F — off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk,” Melnyk tweeted.
