After the public fallout between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that unfolded in front of cameras last week, more and more of Trump's base is turning against the war-torn nation and its president.
Elon Musk Attacks Zelenskyy
One of the most vocal detractors of Ukraine is also the biggest supporter of Donald Trump, Tesla, SpaceX and X boss, Elon Musk. Musk, who also head DOGE has put various posts, and endorsed others, that have discredited the Ukrainians and its president.
In a recent post that Musk endorsed, Musk supported the statement reportedly made by Trump's former general, Michael Flynn. Flynn, it is to be noted, is also a convicted felon.
According to the post, that Musk shared and reposted, Flynn claimed that the Ukraine funding “one giant money laundering operation.”
A Giant Money Laundering Operation
These claims were made at the back of exaggerated claims made by the Trump administration about the total US share in Ukraine Funding, which pegged the number at around 350 billion, when the real number is said to be around USD 120 billion.
Musk, reacting to Flynn's comments said, "He’s not wrong".
It is to be noted, no logic or evidence to this claim have been made public by anyone responsible for the claim.
Not just this post, Musk has also shared some other posts, that actively discredit Ukraine and Zelenskyy.
In another repost on his busy timeline, Musk endorsed another post which hinted towards something that delegitimised the war. Musk once again harped on the photoshoot, that Zelenskyy and his wife conducted for Vogue, which had garnered a lot of criticism at the time of its release.
In another post, Musk said the following, "What I said over 2 years ago was that Ukraine should seek peace or suffer severe loss of life for no gains. "
Musk further added, "The latter was Zelensky’s choice. Now, he wants to do that again. This is cruel and inhumane."
