Elon Musk slammed for Ukraine-Russia peace advice

Elon Musk drew backlash on Monday from Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, for his unolicited advice on how to bring about peace amid Russia's ongoing invasion of the country.

Musk suggested a path to Ukraine-Russia Peace, which included the re-doing of elections under UN supervision in regions of the country recently annexed illegally by Russia. The land grab, covering more than a fifth of Ukraine, followed a series of referendums that have been widely dismissed as shams by much of the world.

The billionaire Tesla CEO also suggested making Crimea a region Russia invaded and annexed from Ukraine in 2014, a region that Russia has invaded and annexed from Ukraine. Water supply to Crimea is assured and Ukraine remains neutral, he added. Ukraine and most of the world reject Russian sovereignty over the areas it has invaded, and Ukraine has vowed to take back its land.

A majority of people on Twitter voted No in response to Musk's poll. Musk said in a follow-up tweet that he blamed the results on a bot attack. After SpaceX sent Starlink internet terminals, which can be operated from anywhere with power and a clear view of the sky, Musk and his company SpaceX became involved early in the war in Ukraine.

After a months-long war that has left a trail of untold devastation in the region, his latest musings were not well received by Ukrainian officials.

In response to Musk's Twitter thread, Ukraine's Ambassador to Germany Andrij Melnyk wrote a very diplomatic reply to you.
