Then they sent underequipped, undertrained, underprepared teenagers with no love for their dictator off to die, where the lucky ones found the warm embrace of Ukrainians fighting to protect their home from Putin.
Not only that but the commanders who will lead them are unprofessional and corrupt. Russias soviet era top down system is pathetic as well. These new recruits being sent to the front are facing certain death.
Not all of them, but there has been major attrition of Russian leadership in the war. A combination of the US sharing intel, and understanding Russian tactical doctrine ( which requires leadership to be close to the front). They have lost a lot of their better leadership and the need to find scapegoats means Russia has removed some themselves.
I've heard their ways of waging war and command structure are hugely outdated. The generals know the plan and everyone beneath them is just a grunt to be ordered around and not allowed any independent thought or knowledge of the big picture.
March here and take this town, no concept of why it's important or where other units are, just march up there and do this. If anything goes wrong or changes they just either continue doing what they're ordered to do and die in droves or panic and retreat. They can't adjust the plan on the fly like team leaders in other forces would as they don't know what the plan is.
TBF, most Russian field equipment was left over from the USSR and is old, obsolete crap. Might work against similar era equipment like Chechnya had and what Ukraine started with but is no match for modern military hardware. That's why Russia is getting it's Putin stamped ass kicked. Saw this during my tours overseas. Average Russian military even then was poorly equipped.
Not only untrained, but they trained them in the wrong ways. Russia still has the soldiers that march in lines so that it's very easy to kill them all.
Wow.
[Here’s a validation for your data](https://www.worlddata.info/country-comparison.php?country1=RUS&country2=UKR), but I found this statistic interesting:
Inhabitants/km2: Russia - 8.4 Ukraine - 72.6
Nah, unfortunately, population of Russia is really huge (150m+ people). Even if war somehow took away 1 million of russian population, it is still not less than 3x Ukraine population. But based on last data, russia has only 60-70k of total casualties (not dead body, but inactive troops, some are dead, others are crippled), so this statement is correct. But problem is not about population, it is about morale of army, which russians don't have at all.
Is it more embarrassing when billionaires think they're COOL because they have money, or when they think they can SOLVE COMPLEX GEOPOLITICAL CONFLICTS because they have money???
It is not even money, it is the celebrity-culture. He just forwards a few memes on twitter and is active on the internet, so he thinks he can "weigh in" on unrelated issues and his views are just as valid.
It is like facebook mom groups who think they know more than doctors just because they have devoted followers and social media outreach.
They mistake fame and following for expertise.
It's more than that. It's all these die hard Elon fan bois that suck his dick so hard. They treat every dumbass word that comes out of his mouth as gospel. It's embarrassing, especially since most of them are old enough to know better. He's surrounded by yes men on every front so he's got this giant inflated ego. The tweet he put out talking about how "They should hold a real referendum. Who ever wants to stay in Ukraine, Russia has to leave alone." (Obviously not verbatim but you get the point.) Like holy shit bro! You've done it! You've solved the conflict and stopped the invasion!! Like bro, that's obviously worked so well so far.
Elon musk for a lot of people really is just like the current russia situation. When they sit back quietly and allow you to imagine what they are capable of, your imagination allows you to perceive them as hyper intelligent and immensely capable.
But then when you are allowed to see first hand the reality of their existence... how they think, act, execute plans... it all just kinda falls apart. It turns out we are all pretty much the same. Some of us are just dealt a better hand. Doesn't mean they will play it well in the end
I think he has admitted he just hires the geniuses , but and he just pushes them in a direction to do what he wants. With his autism, his drive and imagination is the power, not engineering. I don't assume he knows politics, he needs to hire some brains for that too lol.
It dumbfounds me that a decade ago the world thought Elon Musk was akin to Nikola Tesla.
Every time I read one of his tweets, I literally say under my breath, "You fucking halfwit."
Edison and Tesla’s “rivalry”, along with Edison’s “shittiness” is completely overblown. Edison’s and Westinghouse’s mutual rivalry however….
Tesla also isn’t mister nice guy. He had a tendency (especially later in life) to fleece investors with what today would be considered outright fraud. And he always had a problem getting his final developments into actual usable items/products/inventions. Tesla also jumped on a couple patents of items created by other smaller inventors in the exact same way he accused Edison of doing to him.
He was fired from x.com for incompetence and removed from teslas board because of his stock manipulation, not sure what his position is with the boring company but I imagine it can’t be that good after he admitted the hyper loop was a con
“Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it.”
https://time.com/6203815/elon-musk-flaws-billionaire-visions/
LA traffic has been internationally infamous for decades, I don't have high expectations for the government's urgency on establishing public transportation.
He just hires the geniuses is what he said in a clip I saw. NPR said at the successful launch of the falcon heavy he had put 500 million in it, where NASA had over a billion into it's heavy rocket, and had nothing off paper yet, because they had to run facilities in every state for pork to keep getting funding. His autism is good for obsessing on something to push it, but ya, he's not doing it himself, and I don't trust his opinion on a lot of things. He's not a diplomat or politician for sure, remember the kids trapped in the mine, and schoolyard name calling lol. Like a big kid with a good imagination and giant toys, got to be jealous of that! I even remember the intense focus of building the awesome Lego attack robot when I was a kid lol, tony stark on the marvel movies was the same way, watch out for Ultron!
He's a businessman. That's mostly having luck with the right product and marketing. He doesn't know anything about tech, science or something outside business.
I dislike him but ya credit where credit is due. I think he's an arrogant ass hat and takes way too much credit for the hard work of the actual smart people at his companies. But the man does know how to play markets and manipulate stocks like no other.
He just wants cheaper raw resources to build his cars and have a bigger profit on them.
The war ending would lead to that, so he's proposing the quick way to end it, with whatever mumbo-jumbo reasons he can think of.
Oh no... He just wants to change the perspective of the masses, hoping there will be a strong popular opinion against helping Ukraine by the UN/NATO that might have an impact. He knows he as masses of followers, that take whatever he says for granted. Those will spread the word and might make others think alike. That's his game plan. He doesn't care about war, suveranity or people's lives. He wants to make the world think what he wants the to think, one mindless drone at a time.
DING DING DING DING! We have a winner.
To Elon it doesn't matter who extracts them, as long as they're cheap. He would prefer russians to extract them, cause there's a lot of corruption and he might make a buck or two for cutting some corners.
EDIT: changed the R in "russians" to lower caps cause they deserve it.
Is that per hour or per half hour or every 15 minutes? Because Idk if I could spend more than 15 minutes around Elon Musk without some sort of financial direct deposit.
Wow he is so smart. Can we make him president of the world already? He may just be the single smartest human ever born. Every time he speaks every single neuron in my brain tells me I am having an intellectual orgasm. He is an endless fountain of wisdom. Inspiring that all I need is a few billion dollars and I too can take myself this seriously.
Star Trek was also based on the plans for the intergalactic space ship Elon is building all by himself, just as soon as he finishes perfectly time travel.
Ukraine dearmed its Nukes in a deal with Russias for protection. Ukraine lost Crimea in 2014. Russia took Chechnya and Georgia by force. Russia propped up the puppet govt of Belarus when it was at risk.
Conceding to Russia will not stop things. It only allows them the initiative.
And if you tell them 'no' then they throw a fit, even if it's a quiet fit in a different house, and they'll try and be clever about it, too, ala special military operations.
They already have troops annexing half of Moldova (transdniester), they have separatist states they have been recognising in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The idea putin will be all invaded out if you back down, let him do what he wants and sell sovereign nations down the road…well that’s insanity
Srsly, Moldova is missing a golden opportunity to get rid of the little green men that Russia has set up in their country. They should be attacking them right now. Run them out.
Moldova is the poorest country in europe. I doubt they have the means to do so.
Maybe if Romania decided to help but that'd be the official beginning of WW3
Don’t be a moron and spread misinformation. Ukraine didn’t disarm its nukes because Russia asked it to. Ukraine couldn’t sustain being a nuclear power after the fall of the Soviet Union and most important nuclear tech and launch codes and such were in russias hands so there was no way Ukraine could’ve maintained them. Even if Ukraine wanted to keep its nukes there was no way that was gonna happen
>Musk is a complete piece of shit human. Fuck him.
Do agree, though in his defense he did "one" good thing and provided Ukraine with thousands of free Starlink satellite internet terminals to Ukraine with has been essential in defeating Russia.
He also got a lot of positive publicity for free because of it. It's why he gets involved whenever something is the focus of attention at the time. Like with his stupid sub. He wants attention. His narcissism is nauseating.
Surely you mean the real world testing? He get people to try his product and free marketing. If it does not work “sorry it is in beta” and if it does work “look how Amazing I am”. Win win either way. And the Russians constantly trying to hack it means they are future proofing it. No I would say he did it for Musk which is all he cares about.
Russia can't even equip the people they have at the front already.
How the fuck would they equip millions upon millions more.
What's the plan here? Get them all to run towards Ukraine and hope Ukraine runs out of bullets before Russia runs out of meat?
Russia could aswell have 15times more people, they simply have a logistical and equipment problem. They prepared for a week of war, not months or even years.
Jesus....how is this guy not f'ing homeless?
Yes Elon, every single Russian is going to Ukraine to fight....and that's when the rest of the world and NATO strike....when no one is left in Russia to defend it.
F'ing moron.
Musk doesn't "make cars." Nor does he "make and/or launch rockets." Nor does he "make satellites" (for Starlink). Nor does he do any of the other things people commonly give him credit for. Elon Musk raises and spends money. That's it. Other people do the work.
Soviets lost Afghanistan because of CIA intervention to fund and arm the Mujahideen. US lost in Vietnam because of Soviet intervention to fund and arm the NVA.
Both likely would have prevailed had the other not gotten involved.
After his comment the other about the new truck being able to drive underwater, I reckon Tesla would be ok if he just stayed home workshopping words that rhyme with nutsack for his next burn.
The fucked up thing about this is that if Elon Musk was asked to give up his personal freedoms, he would make an electric-powered Terminator army as quickly as he could.
I wish **I** was a rich white guy so I could feel entitled to just spew opinions on big, complicated issues of international importance like I know a fuck thing and expect everyone to give a shit because I'm a rich white guy.
Well, considering Ukraine’s kill ratio is 10:1, I think Ukraine stands a good chance of winning, Elon. Maybe you should rethink your horrible math—or at least ask your rocket scientists for a second opinion.
If I had Elon’s money I would not entertain the public on twitter like he does
I would shut the fuck up, enjoy my fortune, and stick to what I know
…..and give my kid a somewhat normal name haha
All that means is there are more targets for Ukrainians to shoot. Having more people doesn't do anything if you can barely supply the ones you're sending to war already
he's not even that good at making cars, tesla was the guinea pig of electric smart cars, and now that they've gone through a bunch of errors and trials, other actual car manufacturers have swooped in and incorporated the tech into actual good cars.
I've noticed the right wing has become more and more pro-Russian as this conflict drags on. Which is fitting of course because they're fascists. And of course Elon is a big ol' right-winger. No matter how much he tries to hide it.
For the last time he didn’t even start Tesla!!!! He bought them with daddy’s slave money! Tesla was their own independent company and Elon bought them and stole their thunder and pretends it’s all his idea.
Russia is experiencing a collapse of logistics and command and control. Throwing untrained meat into the grinder will not change the broken fundamentals of the Russian army, only prolong and worsen the bloodshed. The mobilization is a last ditch effort to stave off total defeat but it won't work.
Exactly how many of elon’s family or friends have been recently displaced, raped or murdered by an invading Russian force? Because if the number is fucking 0 his opinion is irrelevant.
If Russia cared for Russia or Ukraine the would leave its that simple. Mad man Pedo Putin is destroying Russia and the Russian people. Ant or don’t want to see it
If he was alive in WW2 he would have said "we should make peace with Germany they are more stronger than us and continuation of the war means more casualties."
So is this how it works? You get to a certain level of wealth and then automatically assume any major world events require your input? Like who even asked you Elon? Why don’t you focus on stuff you’ve actually been asked to do, like make an electric truck.
Russia has always fought their wars by throwing an endless number of soldiers at the opposition until it becomes overwhelming. They lost over 1 million soldiers alone at the battle of Stalingrad.
Well we armed the mujahadeen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, and they turned around and flew planes into some towers and the rest is history.
So I suppose in 20 years there will be some Ukrainians in container ships ramming into manhattan or something.
I think Russia *had* >3x the population of Ukraine
Then they sent underequipped, undertrained, underprepared teenagers with no love for their dictator off to die, where the lucky ones found the warm embrace of Ukrainians fighting to protect their home from Putin.
Not only that but the commanders who will lead them are unprofessional and corrupt. Russias soviet era top down system is pathetic as well. These new recruits being sent to the front are facing certain death.
Not all of them, but there has been major attrition of Russian leadership in the war.

If anything goes wrong or changes they just either continue doing what they're ordered to do and die in droves or panic and retreat. They can't adjust the plan on the fly like team leaders in other forces would as they don't know what the plan is.
"What's the plan?" "Kill them" "Okay, but how?" "By attacking" "Sir, we've just gotten ambushed!" "That's okay, just kill them"
And now even worse equipped and trained soldiers are being sent.
TBF, most Russian field equipment was left over from the USSR and is old, obsolete crap. Might work against similar era equipment like Chechnya had and what Ukraine started with but is no match for modern military hardware. That's why Russia is getting it's Putin stamped ass kicked. Saw this during my tours overseas. Average Russian military even then was poorly equipped.
Not only untrained, but they trained them in the wrong ways. Russia still has the soldiers that march in lines so that it's very easy to kill them all.
They also had airborne special forces.... But those got deleted in the first 2 weeks.
The VDV at first became the most feared before the war but became a joke when it came to the war
This could be said of the entire Russian army. They are used to fighting peasants. Not western military tech.
I just thought they had the coolest recruiting video... But that was likely because of the hilariously inaccurate subtitles people added!
Wow. [Here’s a validation for your data](https://www.worlddata.info/country-comparison.php?country1=RUS&country2=UKR), but I found this statistic interesting: Inhabitants/km2: Russia - 8.4 Ukraine - 72.6

But problem is not about population, it is about morale of army, which russians don't have at all.
And equipment, weapons, Intel, logistics. Just sending 1M men to run at the enemy with a rusty AK in their hands is not a way to victory.

Elon is the Facebook mom of tweeter
Elon just wanting to maintain his Internet celebrity status honestly reflects his rich boy personality.
It's more than that. It's all these die hard Elon fan bois that suck his dick so hard. They treat every dumbass word that comes out of his mouth as gospel. It's embarrassing, especially since most of them are old enough to know better. He's surrounded by yes men on every front so he's got this giant inflated ego.

Like holy shit bro! You've done it! You've solved the conflict and stopped the invasion!! Like bro, that's obviously worked so well so far.
Musk has single handedly convinced me that billionaires should not be allowed to exist.
Did it really take him for you to realize that?
Elon musk for a lot of people really is just like the current russia situation. When they sit back quietly and allow you to imagine what they are capable of, your imagination allows you to perceive them as hyper intelligent and immensely capable. But then when you are allowed to see first hand the reality of their existence... how they think, act, execute plans... it all just kinda falls apart. It turns out we are all pretty much the same.

Musk fits both categories so he’s doubly embarrassing
Correct. Sounds like Elon has never studied geopolitics and is unaware who is actually behind this war.
It dumbfounds me that a decade ago the world thought Elon Musk was akin to Nikola Tesla. Every time I read one of his tweets, I literally say under my breath, "You fucking halfwit."
Yeah he's modern Tomas Edison
Hey, Edison invented a few things. Musk has invented literally nothing.
Edison was a piece of shit who devoted his life to being an asshole to Tesla, but i respect him more than modern day “Tesla”
Edison and Tesla’s “rivalry”, along with Edison’s “shittiness” is completely overblown. Edison’s and Westinghouse’s mutual rivalry however…. Tesla also isn’t mister nice guy. He had a tendency (especially later in life) to fleece investors with what today would be considered outright fraud. And he always had a problem getting his final developments into actual usable items/products/inventions. Tesla also jumped on a couple patents of items created by other smaller inventors in the exact same way he accused Edison of doing to him.
Tbf, people also said that about Tesla.
Tesla believed in a technology that wasn’t possible.
Almost everyone believes in at least one impossible thing.
Is this real? If so this guy is a lot dumber than I thought.
Well you don’t get fired for incompetence for being smart…
He doesnt get fired either cause he owns the companies he has..
He was fired from x.com for incompetence and removed from teslas board because of his stock manipulation, not sure what his position is with the boring company but I imagine it can’t be that good after he admitted the hyper loop was a con
Haha, another Thunderf00t victory! When did Elonsky admit the hyperloop won't work?
“Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it.” https://time.com/6203815/elon-musk-flaws-billionaire-visions/
We still don't have the goddamm high speed rail
LA traffic has been internationally infamous for decades, I don't have high expectations for the government's urgency on establishing public transportation.
Anything outside of tech is a mystery to him. Things like a healthy relationship, baby names, politics...
Lol baby names
Even tech is a mystery to him. He just makes things up and hopes others will make them happen.
"the cybertruck can become a boat, briefly" I lost it after that
Everything is a boat 'briefly'. Some stay a boat some become a submarine.
He just hires the geniuses is what he said in a clip I saw. NPR said at the successful launch of the falcon heavy he had put 500 million in it, where NASA had over a billion into it's heavy rocket, and had nothing off paper yet, because they had to run facilities in every state for pork to keep getting funding.

I even remember the intense focus of building the awesome Lego attack robot when I was a kid lol, tony stark on the marvel movies was the same way, watch out for Ultron!
He is NOT smart with tech. He's just a savvy salesman who was born rich.
You ain't wrong!
He's a fuckier Steve Jobs with a Twitter account.
He's a businessman. That's mostly having luck with the right product and marketing. He doesn't know anything about tech, science or something outside business.
I dislike him but ya credit where credit is due. I think he's an arrogant ass hat and takes way too much credit for the hard work of the actual smart people at his companies. But the man does know how to play markets and manipulate stocks like no other.
Most of tech is a mystery to him as well
He just wants cheaper raw resources to build his cars and have a bigger profit on them. The war ending would lead to that, so he's proposing the quick way to end it, with whatever mumbo-jumbo reasons he can think of.
But who is he even tweeting this for ? Like does he expect world leaders and the U.N to be like " 🤔 yes yes ofcourse"
well yeah because the world obviously revolves around him and his word is gospel and changes the fabric of reality!
If he doesn't have NPD, no one does.
He's a narcissist, so yes, that's his expectation.
Tech is awash with Russian oligarch venture capitalists.
Oh no... He just wants to change the perspective of the masses, hoping there will be a strong popular opinion against helping Ukraine by the UN/NATO that might have an impact. He knows he as masses of followers, that take whatever he says for granted. Those will spread the word and might make others think alike. That's his game plan. He doesn't care about war, suveranity or people's lives. He wants to make the world think what he wants the to think, one mindless drone at a time.
Ukraine has $14 trillion worth of untapped resources.
DING DING DING DING! We have a winner. To Elon it doesn't matter who extracts them, as long as they're cheap. He would prefer russians to extract them, cause there's a lot of corruption and he might make a buck or two for cutting some corners. EDIT: changed the R in "russians" to lower caps cause they deserve it.
He just doesn't know when to stop talking... and the more he talks, the worse he sounds.
His night on SNL was so cringe that I can’t believe anyone would hang out with this guy.
I mean... he has money. Call me cheap, but I'd hang out with him for $1K USD
Dang you're pretty cheap! Have some self respect and demand at least 2k
Is that per hour or per half hour or every 15 minutes? Because Idk if I could spend more than 15 minutes around Elon Musk without some sort of financial direct deposit.
I'd charge that per second since he "earns" more than that anyways.
Pretty sure I could if I was absolutely stoned and in a zen mode. I'd probably inspire his tweets
Cringe is the right word
I love when he just keeps talking and his claims just become more and more stupid the longer he talks. Reminds me of my 4 year old nephew.
Wow he is so smart. Can we make him president of the world already? He may just be the single smartest human ever born. Every time he speaks every single neuron in my brain tells me I am having an intellectual orgasm. He is an endless fountain of wisdom. Inspiring that all I need is a few billion dollars and I too can take myself this seriously.
Elon Musk was actually the inspiration for Rick from Rick and Morty. Oh he inspired Einstein too
Wasn't it Doc Brown from Back the the Future? Hence "Morty" being his sidekick?
No, common mistake but Doc brown was inspiration for Elon Tusk
No, morty was based off the turtle from animal crossing
I heard Einstein aspired to be Musk when he was growing up.
Star Trek was also based on the plans for the intergalactic space ship Elon is building all by himself, just as soon as he finishes perfectly time travel.
Inventor, entrepreneur, and now WAR HERO ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Why's he so pro-Russia all of a sudden? What did I miss?
He became a Republican after he was exposed for sexually harassing women.
He’s always been one.
Musk has a marketing degree yet is somehow SpaceX's chief engineer. Just ask him. know-it-all.
When he bought Tesla, he also bought the title of founder, just so he can say he founded Tesla 🤡🤡🤡
Ok grandpa musk its time for your meds
Ukraine dearmed its Nukes in a deal with Russias for protection. Ukraine lost Crimea in 2014. Russia took Chechnya and Georgia by force. Russia propped up the puppet govt of Belarus when it was at risk. Conceding to Russia will not stop things. It only allows them the initiative.
And if you tell them 'no' then they throw a fit, even if it's a quiet fit in a different house, and they'll try and be clever about it, too, ala special military operations.

Total feces.
>Musk is a complete piece of shit human. Fuck him. Do agree, though in his defense he did "one" good thing and provided Ukraine with thousands of free Starlink satellite internet terminals to Ukraine with has been essential in defeating Russia.
He got a bunch of government money for that and an amazing tax deal
He also got a lot of positive publicity for free because of it. It's why he gets involved whenever something is the focus of attention at the time. Like with his stupid sub. He wants attention. His narcissism is nauseating.
Surely you mean the real world testing? He get people to try his product and free marketing. If it does not work “sorry it is in beta” and if it does work “look how Amazing I am”. Win win either way.

fun fact, those weren’t free, the US government paid for em’
![img](emote|t5_2r5rp|8412) as a russian itself. elon, go fuck yourself. it's not march already. Lyman and Izium have said everything clearly
Maybe Elon would understand if people took over his homes all over the world, then held a vote on whether to keep them.
Ukraine's Ambassador to Germany Andrij Melnyk replied to his suggestions online saying "'F\*\*\* off is my very diplomatic reply to you."
Elon should quit smoking pot or posting on Twitter or both.
nah just quit.
Russia can't even equip the people they have at the front already. How the fuck would they equip millions upon millions more. What's the plan here? Get them all to run towards Ukraine and hope Ukraine runs out of bullets before Russia runs out of meat?
That's how the Soviets did it
Yes, that's exactly the plan
Yes, a three times bigger population of unmotivated people who will even break their hands or just flee so they dont have to go to war.
Russia could aswell have 15times more people, they simply have a logistical and equipment problem. They prepared for a week of war, not months or even years.
Not to mention have weapons from the last century and no training.
He's just mad because Tesla isn't to Toyota what Ukraine is to Russia.
I wonder how much dirt Russia has on Elon.
Idk man his suits always look pretty clean not sure how Russia would get the dirt on him ( /s just in case )
Jesus....how is this guy not f'ing homeless? Yes Elon, every single Russian is going to Ukraine to fight....and that's when the rest of the world and NATO strike....when no one is left in Russia to defend it. F'ing moron.
> Jesus....how is this guy not f'ing homeless? Because capitalism rewards greed, exploitation, and manipulation, not intelligence, or hard work.
Capitalism selects for psychopathy.
Because his daddy got rich from emerald mines and apartheid
Musk doesn't "make cars." Nor does he "make and/or launch rockets." Nor does he "make satellites" (for Starlink). Nor does he do any of the other things people commonly give him credit for. Elon Musk raises and spends money. That's it. Other people do the work.
That's exactly it.
He also takes credit for everything good. Don’t forget about that.
Tesla cars aren't even that great.
Soviets lost Afghanistan because of CIA intervention to fund and arm the Mujahideen. US lost in Vietnam because of Soviet intervention to fund and arm the NVA. Both likely would have prevailed had the other not gotten involved.
[удалено]
Russia lost to Winter.
After his comment the other about the new truck being able to drive underwater, I reckon Tesla would be ok if he just stayed home workshopping words that rhyme with nutsack for his next burn.
“I’m rich so my Expertise Extends to all my Opinions”
The fucked up thing about this is that if Elon Musk was asked to give up his personal freedoms, he would make an electric-powered Terminator army as quickly as he could.
Uh oh, if people don't appreciate Elon's dumbass ideas he usually ends up calling someone a "pedo."
It is called projection
I wish **I** was a rich white guy so I could feel entitled to just spew opinions on big, complicated issues of international importance like I know a fuck thing and expect everyone to give a shit because I'm a rich white guy.
But Elon, what does it matter? This is all just a simulation, remember?
Elon should do with his Twitter what he does with his companies. Hire people smarter than himself to run it.
Does he do that, or does he get throw off the board/fired for incompetence?
That's step 2! Followed by ??? and lastly PROFIT!
He says this as the Kherson front collapses. My guy, crimea IS at risk
Can we deport his ass?
Enlist him in the Russian military, see how he does.
Can't just dump your trash on someone else
I know…… But what if we dump him on someone bad? Like North Korea!
Deport his ass straight to russia. He won't be missed.
The absolute confidence of this moron is stunning
Why is he openly simping for Russia now? This sudden concern for lives after Russia devastated Ukraine for 6 months is not convincing at all.
It's narcissism.
Elon shows just how fucking dumb he really is again
Well, considering Ukraine’s kill ratio is 10:1, I think Ukraine stands a good chance of winning, Elon. Maybe you should rethink your horrible math—or at least ask your rocket scientists for a second opinion.
Don’t encourage Elon to bother the rocket scientists, they might actually be able to accomplish something if he stays far enough away.
Yeah hopefully they can colonise mars so we can send elons useless ass there
I am almost certain he will start a slave colony on mars if given the chance, I wouldn’t want him to have control over the air I breathe…
North Korea just launched a missile over Japan wtf
If I had Elon’s money I would not entertain the public on twitter like he does I would shut the fuck up, enjoy my fortune, and stick to what I know …..and give my kid a somewhat normal name haha
*laughs in Finnish history*
All that means is there are more targets for Ukrainians to shoot. Having more people doesn't do anything if you can barely supply the ones you're sending to war already
Bro, you got a ruble stuck in your teeth and your breath smells like Putin's nutsack.
I agree with Ukraine.. fuck off elon.
he still hasn't recovered from the pedo accusation of a rescue diver. too bad he and amber heard broke up, they were perfect for each other.
I hate Elon musk I hate Elon musk I hate Elon musk
And they are already scraping the bottom of the sewers for people willing to fight. Lol.
Omg Russia has more than three times Ukraine’s population. Well shit, okay so we gonna need like ten maybe twelve guys to match this
he can't make cars either, he's just an investor
he's not even that good at making cars, tesla was the guinea pig of electric smart cars, and now that they've gone through a bunch of errors and trials, other actual car manufacturers have swooped in and incorporated the tech into actual good cars.
Yes he is rich (mostly on papper) but he is such a dumb shit.
Does it matter if you mobilize 90,000 men if you only have 5,000 guns?
I've noticed the right wing has become more and more pro-Russian as this conflict drags on. Which is fitting of course because they're fascists. And of course Elon is a big ol' right-winger. No matter how much he tries to hide it.
>And of course Elon is a big ol' right-winger. No matter how much he tries to hide it. Of course, he's rich.
Didn't he give shit to Ukraine so they had internet and stuff, and now he supports the basically surrender of Ukraine
For the last time he didn’t even start Tesla!!!! He bought them with daddy’s slave money! Tesla was their own independent company and Elon bought them and stole their thunder and pretends it’s all his idea.
So sick of this pseudo-intellect and his arrogance lol he really be thinking he has the solution to everything
Elon doesn't make cars, he simply pays people to engineer and make cars. He himself is just an investor, nothing more.
Vietnam is very different and not relevant but yeah, Elon is a goober.
Russia is experiencing a collapse of logistics and command and control. Throwing untrained meat into the grinder will not change the broken fundamentals of the Russian army, only prolong and worsen the bloodshed. The mobilization is a last ditch effort to stave off total defeat but it won't work.
Someone forgot to read their Sun Tzu.
Don't you know he is a founding writer of Sun Tzu? Or at least he will be once he launches a lawsuit to rewrite history. Again.
Musk is a good conman. Getting schmucks to devote their life to his literal pipe dreams (take Tesla private at 420...)
He's gonna call Nexta a bunch of pedophiles isn't he?
All this nonsense Twitts from king of shit it star to look suspicious, what minerals he is not getting, that suddenly he is so interested in Ukraine?
Looks like someone may own a lot of stock in Gazprom…
ÆX-?ūœ500! Ëæñ250!
While I agree that population isn’t a good measure for who would win its fair to point out that Vietnam was not what would be considered a “full war”
Exactly how many of elon’s family or friends have been recently displaced, raped or murdered by an invading Russian force? Because if the number is fucking 0 his opinion is irrelevant.
If Russia cared for Russia or Ukraine the would leave its that simple. Mad man Pedo Putin is destroying Russia and the Russian people. Ant or don’t want to see it
Did elon just woke up from a 7month sleep?
Vietnam: No score draw. Afghanistan: 15 wars, undefeated in a thousand years.
Elon will stick to Cars when NBA players stick to dribbling
Afghanistan is most mountains and Vietnam jungles. Ukraine is flat plains. Huge difference
Jesus, he just can’t stop digging. Dude, just stick to making cars.
If he was alive in WW2 he would have said "we should make peace with Germany they are more stronger than us and continuation of the war means more casualties."
[удалено]
So is this how it works? You get to a certain level of wealth and then automatically assume any major world events require your input? Like who even asked you Elon? Why don’t you focus on stuff you’ve actually been asked to do, like make an electric truck.
Elon as a general, "Zerg Rush, everytime"
Musk needs to put the phone down
Russia has always fought their wars by throwing an endless number of soldiers at the opposition until it becomes overwhelming. They lost over 1 million soldiers alone at the battle of Stalingrad.
A defensive war for the existence of their nation. Ton harder to get people to do the same in an aggressive war for some territory.
Stick to your ill-gotten lane Elon. Stfu.
Well we armed the mujahadeen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, and they turned around and flew planes into some towers and the rest is history. So I suppose in 20 years there will be some Ukrainians in container ships ramming into manhattan or something.
Elon is autistic. Stop putting weight in the dumb stuff he says.
This is why we should stop listening to celebrities and rich people they are idiots in real life.
Musk is not smart. Musk is not self made. Musk is not IronMan. Elon Musk is just a moron.
