Advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office head Andriy Yermak, Mykhailo Podolyak, on Monday indirectly accused Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and X Corp. Chairman Elon Musk of providing an "unconditional encouragement" to "Russian propaganda, which justifies mass violence and destruction."
"Any support for Russia today is a direct investment in war, genocide, the killing of the free world, escalation, and the right to impunity," Podolyak wrote on Telegram. "Unfortunately, not everyone, and not always, being significant media figures, but being thousands of kilometers from the epicenter of the war, are able to realize what the daily bombings and the cries of children who lose their parents are like."
Podolyak's comment came after Musk posted an edited photograph of Zelensky with a worried facial expression, with the caption that says "when it's been 5 minutes and you haven't asked for a billion dollars in aid."
