The discussion was joined by opponents of the draft law on further assistance to Ukraine to combat the full-scale Russian invasion. <\/p>\n
Elon Musk said that \"there is no way in hell\" Vladimir Putin could lose the war in Ukraine. He said this in response to the words of one of the speakers, who said that people who expect victory in Ukraine are \"living in a fantasy world\". <\/p>\n
Commenting on the assistance to Ukraine from the United States, the billionaire said that it is ineffective. <\/p>\n
\"This spending does not help Ukraine. Prolonging the war does not help Ukraine,\" Elon Musk said about the bill which provides further assistance to Ukraine. <\/p>\n
Elon Musk also drew attention to the fact that he is often accused of defending the Russian president. However, in his opinion, this accusation is \"absurd\". In this context, the billionaire added that his companies \"have probably done more to undermine Russia than anything\". This, of course, is not true because, in addition to activating the Starlink satellite and transferring a limited number of terminals at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the contribution of Musk's companies to the \"undermining\" of Russia is minimal. After all, neither Tesla, with its electric vehicles, nor SpaceX, did not cause problems for the Russian raw material economy. <\/p>\n
The billionaire also believes that Vladimir Putin is being pressured to bring the war to an end because \"if he were to back off, he would be assassinated\". <\/p>\n
The businessman noted that his interest is to stop the death of people on both sides. However, he expressed doubt that seeking to remove Vladimir Putin is a wise decision. <\/p>\n
\"For those who want regime change in Russia, they should think about who is the person that could take out Putin, and is that person likely to be a peacenik? Probably not,\" Elon Musk said. <\/p>\n
In his opinion, such a person will likely be \"even more hardcore than Putin\". <\/p>\n
Background: Last year, a scandal broke out due to Elon Musk's unilateral decision to not activate Starlink near Crimea. The incident occurred in 2022 and became known from an excerpt out of a biographical book about the billionaire. <\/p>\n
