New York: In a recent discussion on the X platform’s voice space, tech titan Elon Musk, alongside Republican leaders, voiced his skepticism regarding the efficacy of countering Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine strategy. Musk’s remarks come amidst heightened tensions in the region, with concerns of further escalation looming large.
Joining Musk in the dialogue were prominent figures such as Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, JD Vance of Ohio, Mike Lee of Utah, and Vivek Ramaswamy. Musk echoed sentiments expressed by Ron Johnson, asserting that the notion of defeating Putin in Ukraine was unrealistic.
Furthermore, Musk voiced opposition to a contentious foreign aid bill proposed by Democrats in the US Congress. The bill proposes a substantial $95 billion in aid to US allies engaged in conflicts, with a significant portion earmarked for Ukraine to bolster its defense against Russian aggression. As tensions simmer along the Russia-Ukraine border, Musk emphasized the need for Americans to question their elected representatives about the bill’s implications. He remarked, “This spending does not help Ukraine. Prolonging the war does not help Ukraine.”
Critics have accused the 52-year-old entrepreneur of displaying bias towards Russia, particularly given his previous comments aligning with viewpoints contrary to those of Democrats. However, Musk refuted these allegations, highlighting the role of his company, Starlink, in restoring crucial communication channels for Ukraine during the conflict.
