No, the 2010 election was not dodgy at all. It was crawling with international observers who declared it free and fair.
Yanukovych won fair and square.

I think Musk is thinking about the 2004 runoff election, which was dodgy. After the Orange Revolution, results of that election were tossed out and a new election held. Yanukovych lost the do-over.

Yes, the “regime change” in 2014 was a coup. Actually, it was an armed putsch.

i agree with you, Elon is not correct. A total of 3,779 observers, including 650 from the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, were dispatched to monitor the election.
