Musk starts Twitter war over Ukraine peace plan that's a tweet
UNITED NATIONS — Billionaire Elon Musk on Monday asked Twitter users to weigh in on a plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine that drew immediate condemnation from Ukrainians, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who responded with his own poll.
Musk, the world's richest person, proposed U.N.-supervised elections in four occupied regions that Moscow last week moved to annex after what it called referendums. The votes were denounced by Kyiv and Western governments as illegal and coercive.The Tesla Inc chief executive suggested that Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014, be formally recognized as Russia, that water supply to Crimea be assured and that Ukraine remain neutral, rather than join NATO.
Musk, who is also chief executive of SpaceX, followed up his first tweet with another poll:"Let's try this then: the will of the people who live in the Donbas & Crimea should decide whether they're part of Russia or Ukraine." "Russia has >3 times population of Ukraine, so victory for Ukraine is unlikely in total war. If you care about the people of Ukraine, seek peace," he posted on Twitter.
