Elon Musk opined that Vladimir Putin would be assassinated if he backed out of Ukraine war. Musk said that Ukraine may not win the war even after a long struggle.
Musk has expressed similar sentiments before on X, doubting Ukraine’s ability to win the war and mocking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s requests for aid.
The tech Icon has come under criticism from Ukraine and Democratic members of Congress.
Musk said there was pressure on Putin to see the fight through. “If he were to back off, he would be assassinated,” Musk said.
Musk told the senators he’s sometimes accused of being a Putin apologist, but said that accusation was “absurd.” He said his companies “have probably done more to undermine Russia than anything.”
He cited SpaceX providing Starlink internet service to Ukraine, which has been critical to the nation’s communications after Russia invaded, as well as SpaceX taking business away from Russia’s space launch business.
