Elon Musk, a millionaire, made a statement on social media in which he made fun of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky’s repeated requests for Western military and financial aid to fight against the Russian invasion. The Ukrainian government reacted strongly to Musk’s post, which was posted on Facebook. Starlink satellite services, which are indispensable to the Ukrainian armed forces, have been donated to Ukraine by Elon Musk. Despite the fact that his claims concerning the Russian invasion have previously been subjected to criticism.
Elon Musk, the owner of the social media network X, which was formerly known as Twitter, uploaded a meme of Zelensky with the message, “When it’s been five minutes and you haven’t asked for a billion dollars in aid.” X was formerly known as Twitter.

Mykhaylo Podolyak, an adviser to the president of Ukraine, said in response to question X that “any silence or irony towards Ukraine today is a direct encouragement of Russian propaganda that justifies mass violence and destruction.”
In the meantime, the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, has criticized the post while making fun of Elon Musk’s quest to “conquer space” after the explosion that occurred on Elon Musk’s SpaceX spaceship shortly after it was launched in April. According to Ruslan Stefanchuk, the attempt had been unsuccessful in just five minutes and had left the billionaire with a mountain of challenges to climb.
