It would be an understatement to say that Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is very interested in Russia's war in Ukraine.
NATO countries and experts see this war as a battle for democracy.
Musk Sides with Ukraine
"We cannot let Putin take over Ukraine. This is crazy," the Chief Executive Officer of the premium EV maker said in March during an interview with Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer.
During the same interview, the tech tycoon explained that someone of his rank had a responsibility and should therefore use the power and influence that is his to influence the conduct of world affairs. Musk has more than 102.4 million followers on Twitter and runs several companies (Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink).
"I think I can be helpful in conflicts," Musk said. "I do whatever I think is most likely to ensure that the future is good for humanity. Those are the actions that I will take."
Among the actions taken by Musk since the start of the conflict, there is one that has particularly irritated Russia. The serial entrepreneur decided to provide Starlink antennas, the satellite internet access service of his other company SpaceX, to Ukraine when the country's telecommunications infrastructure had been largely destroyed by Russian bombings.
Starlink guarantees secure Internet access and thus appeared as a response to the Russian communication machine around this war because Ukrainians could communicate freely with the outside world and give their version of events.
The entrepreneur also went so far as to propose a duel to Putin, in an attempt to end the war. This proposal had earned him threats on his life from the Russian president's loyalists. Putin never responded to the offer.

Probably has something to do with rare earth materials musk desperately needs to satisfy the idiotic whims of green libtards
So, it’s okay for Russia to brutally invade a country?
He should concentrate on China, not Russia.
Musk is free to use his own money and serve. He didn’t prove to be much of a fighter over his silly Twitter bid.
I think Musk and Putin should take off their shirts and ride ponies.
I have long considered Musk to be a brilliant man..
I have now updated that assessment to brilliant idiot.
A member of the geopolitically naive...
“He should concentrate on China, not Russia”.
That’s for sure.
Is it ok for the US to “brutally” invade another country?
“Is it ok for the US to “brutally” invade another country?”
Go ask the Hawaiian’s. We took that island at the force of a gun.
We invaded Ukraine? When did that happen?
“We cannot let Putin take over Ukraine.”
WE have no business over there Elon. No go build some rockets and leave the American people alone.
It's astonishing how many people cannot look at a map and see what it means. I got called an anti-American traitor by a long-standing freeper for pointing out the realities of trying to be an Asian landpower and how stupid is for a country like us blessed with having that curse, except that the Bush Cheney globalist fools wanted to try to be just that - the millennial graveyard of empires.
Rare earth is desperately needed by our military. But hey why let our real national security interests get in the way.
Ever occur to you that’s why Russia and China want it?
Wow, you really had to drag through the dregs to find this silly post on this 61-subscriber YouTube channel to pollute the “News/Activisism” threads here.
The twitter fight is ongoing, Musk filed a counter-suit that supposedly will be unsealed tomorrow.
The one thing I’m sure of is that Musk has better engineers and programmers and if Twitter has been lying about bots, they will uncover it.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Mark Levin tonight intelligently smashing the isolationist apologists for Russia and China.
Are you willing to trade Taiwan into communism only to lose a bloody war for a “free democratic Ukraine?” How many more wars are you willing to lose trying to impose democracy at gunpoint, while giving up on a country that actually is a functioning practicing democracy.
