Musk accuses Ukraine leader of ‘feeding off dead bodies of soldiers’ in vicious rant
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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?
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.
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.
Any public personality that stays on x is not worth following.
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.
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.
So you'll keep giving money to Musk because X is convenient?
I don’t give money to Musk.
Not directly, but you're contributing to the profit of the platform.
Yes, nobody’s perfect.
"You support Nazis."
"I do. Nobody's perfect."
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.
First of all it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi. How many people have been sent to concentration camps recently?
Furthermore, you are talking about indirect support. I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.
it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi
It has been seen.
I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.
Yes and when I recognize my avenues of support, I switch away and stop supporting things I don't like. I don't make excuses to keep using Dogshit.
Lol, it remains to be seen if the dude throwing Nazi salutes is a nazi
No. I can call out your support of Nazis without being an angel. It's your actions that are getting criticized, not you.
Try again.
There's perfect, and then there's "Sure I'm supporting a genocidal, Nazi lunatic destroying global democracy, but like... how else will I hear about what public personalities had for lunch?".
Not sure the bar could be any lower.
Do you eat animals?
Beautiful whataboutism. Absolutely beautiful.
Answer the fucking question.
The person I was discussing with stated he’s not sure the car could be any lower, to which I reply it can be.
Eating animals contributes to the killing of billions of land animals and tens of billions of fish on a yearly basis. Most of them are raised in terrible conditions in factory farms.
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her”.
Trying to justify your whataboutism doesn't change the fact that it is a whataboutism.
How many cheeseburgers do i have to eat before i start supporting Nazis?
I just want you to make an informed decision mate
Thank you. I asked in good faith, I am exploring Mastodon and looking for the accounts I follow on X but a lot are missing unfortunately.
Getting people to switch is honestly a little complicated. People haven't switched to Mastodon because the accounts they follow aren't on Mastodon, but the accounts aren't on Mastodon because the people who follow them aren't there.
If you want to help, it might be beneficial to reach out to the accounts you follow and tell them you'd like to see them on Mastodon too.
That’s a good idea!
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
