Elon Musk thinks he can end the war in Ukraine and a lot of people aren’t happy with his suggestions

Billionaire Elon Musk is under fire after tweeting a poll with his tips on how to end the invasion of Ukraine.

The Tesla CEO believes an election should held in the regions annexed by Russia, supervised by the United Nations. When the vote concludes, Musk believes Russia must leave “if that is the will of the people”.

On the road to “peace” Musk also says annexed Crimea should be formally declared as part of Russia.

He says the region should never have been separated from Russia in the first place, labelling the move “Khrushchev’s mistake”.

But many people have called the suggestions naive, with some saying the billionaire doesn’t understand the situation.

In true form, Ukraine’s outgoing ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, told Musk to “fuck off”.

Lithuania’s President, Gitanas Nausėda, has also made his opinion known.

“Dear @elonmusk, when someone tries to steal the wheels of your Tesla, it doesn’t make them legal owner of the car or of the wheels. Even though they claim both voted in favour of it. Just saying,”Nausėda said.

There were a number of social media users in favour of the Tesla CEO’s plans, with some even praising him for trying to find a peaceful solution.

However, this wasn’t the case for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine’s leader posted a poll to his personal Twitter account, asking which Elon Musk his followers like more: “one who supports Russia” OR “one who supports Ukraine”.

But Musk hit back again. This time he said Moscow could one day announce a total mobilisation, leading to a “full war” where “death on both sides will be devastating”.

Ukraine faces tough choices amid U.S.-Russia secret peace plan negotiations, potentially demanding significant concessions from Kyiv

– Ukraine faces challenges with a U.S.-Russia peace plan requiring major concessions to Moscow.
– Senior U.S. officials are in Ukraine discussing conflict resolution amid concerns over Ukrainian input.

Ukraine faces challenges amid reports of a U.S.-Russia peace plan to end the war, potentially involving major concessions to Moscow.Senior U.S. military officials are currently in Ukraine for discussions aimed at ending the conflict. The visit follows reports suggesting that Washington and Moscow developed a 28-point peace plan without Ukrainian input.

The plan reportedly includes territorial concessions in eastern Donbas, limitations on Ukraine’s military capabilities, and a substantial reduction in armed forces. Some reports suggest that Russia could control the Donbas while Ukraine retains legal ownership, with payment arrangements in place, but these claims remain unverified.

A senior Ukrainian official indicated that Kyiv received signals regarding U.S. proposals but was not involved in their formulation. The Kremlin has denied any new developments in peace talks since President Putin and President Trump last met.

The White House has not confirmed the existence of the peace plan but acknowledged that new proposals are being explored. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that achieving peace necessitates difficult concessions from both sides.

Ukraine’s Options

Ukraine has not responded publicly to the peace plan but anticipates discussions with U.S. officials. President Zelenskyy noted that the U.S. plays a crucial role in resolving the conflict.

Despite Ukrainian concerns, the country remains reliant on U.S. military aid, with European support becoming less immediate. European officials have expressed dissatisfaction over peace proposals that do not involve Ukrainian input, noting it is essential for any viable plan.

Analysts have warned that the proposed plan may signify Ukraine’s capitulation, undermining its defensive positions and inviting further Russian aggression.

US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.

The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.

As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
