Elon Musk doubles down on ‘pro-Putin’ tweets after challenge from Lindsey Graham

Elon Musk has doubled down on his “pro-Putin” tweets after US senator Lindsey Graham called the Tesla billionaire’s comments on the Ukraine invasion “dumb” on Twitter.
“With all due respect to Elon Musk – and I do respect him – I would suggest he needs to understand the facts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” Mr Graham said in a Twitter thread on Wednesday.
“Suggesting we end the Russian invasion by simply giving Russia parts of Ukraine – after all the suffering – is dumb. It is also an affront to the bravery of the Ukrainians fighting to defend their homeland,” he added.
The senator also said that the signing of the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 had led to Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons arsenal in exchange for protection of its territorial integrity.
Mr Graham said the agreement was signed by Russia and included protecting Crimea and the Donbas “as part of Ukraine”.
“If you want peace in Ukraine – which we ALL do – simply demand Russian honour the boundaries they agreed to in 1994 and withdraw their forces,” he added.
“If Elon Musk and others want the world to continue to be in chaos, then by all means capitulate to Putin and reward his aggression.”
Mr Musk responded to the senator and said “some eastern portions” preferred Russia and that the “will of the people matters”.
“Assuming you believe that the will of the people matters, we should, in any given conflict region, support the will of those who live there,” Mr Musk replied.
“Most of Ukraine unequivocally wants to be part of Ukraine, but some eastern portions have Russian majorities and prefer Russia,” he added.

??? What suffering? The American taxpayers? The elites in Washington lying awake at night worrying Putin or Zelensky will expose their corruption in Ukraine?

In that agreement, what/who is the enforcement mechanism if it's not honored by Russia?

I still fail to see how this is my problem. I’ll be concerned when Russia fricks with NATO.

I don't know why Musk bothered to respond to him. He is approaching the subject with an objective view. Lindsey is towing a narrative. LOL at Washington wanting it to end. We wouldn't have sent military aid if we wanted it to end or avoid said suffering.

He's right.

No. I woild prefer our military repel the invaders. Strangely all the money to repel the invasion from Mexico is bein sent to Asia.

Miss Lindsey's biggest concern is keeping the money laundering going.

If the people in that part of Ukraine, want to be part of Russia, who am I to say no

I think he's wrong. What about if an ethnic minority in a region of the US decided to be independent of America? We should just let them? How large of a majority would they need? To how small an area should this apply?
Beat Russia down until they assassinate Putin. That will contain Russia for 50 years and send an unequivocal signal to China regarding Taiwan.

I used to think no, but now I am more inclined to allow regions of the USA to break away. If my state decided to become the state of Stacey Abrahams, I would pack up and leave. I would find a more hospitable place. btw, I am working on that now. I would just accelerate it under the weight of Abrams.

Musk needs to stay in his lane.

What if we honor our word and not make noise about admitting Ukrain into NATO?
