Elon Musk posted a tweet on Monday urging a de-escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“I still very much support Ukraine, but am convinced that massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and possibly the world,” Musk wrote in response to a poll tweeted by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In response, Musk also tweeted a poll on the conflict’s end-game.
Musk faced fierce opposition from war-hawks.
One notable reaction was from the Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany.
Andrij Melnyk told Musk to “F*ck off.”
The only outcome ist that now no Ukrainian will EVER buy your f…ing tesla crap. So good luck to you .@elonmusk

Musk also faced criticism from warmonger Lindsey Graham.
Graham called Musk “dumb” and threatened Tesla.
Check out Lindsey Graham’s response to Musk:
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.

It was an agreement signed by Russia that included protecting Crimea and the Donbas as part of Ukraine.
If you want peace in Ukraine — which we ALL do — simply demand Russian honor the boundaries they agreed to in 1994 and withdraw their forces.

Graham threatened to take away Tesla’s tax breaks for not supporting war in Ukraine.
While we’re at it, maybe the Congress should revisit the electric vehicle tax credit boondoggle.
It is where the credit is now solely benefiting electric vehicle manufacturers who have increased prices equal to the tax credit!
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 5, 2022
Graham offered to divert the funds (taxpayer dollars) to Ukraine.
Just what working-class Americans want, more of their money handed to Ukraine (sarcasm).
It could be a good way to help save money by applying those funds to assisting Ukrainians in defending their homeland!

Musk responded to Graham’s tweets and Twitter user @catturd2 chimed in on the exchange.
Ignore Lindsey the warmonger POS – he loves to send kids to die in wars.
