Elon Musk enters another viral feud with Ukrainian government over Zelenskyy's aid appeal
US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has found himself, yet again, in a verbal battle with the Ukrainian government after making a mockery of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a social media post.
As Caliber.Az reports, the Tesla and SpaceX chief has posted a caricature image ("meme") on his recently purchased social media platform, X's (formerly known as Twitter) account.
In it, he was ridiculing Zelenskyy's latest appeal to the international community for military assistance in his country's effort to resist the Russian offensive.
Kyiv, already experienced in viral feuds with the American, was quick to respond and directly recognized Musk's behaviour to stem from Russian propaganda. The Ukrainian parliament, also known as Verkhovna Rada, made this accusation on their official X account but later deleted the post.
The Speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, also replied to Musk's mockery by bringing up the Tesla chief's latest failures in his private space agency, SpaceX, such as the launch failure and subsequent explosion of the Starship rocket.
