Elon Musk, CEO of US electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, declared on the 12th that there is “absolutely no way” that Russian President Vladimir Putin would lose the war in Ukraine. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began two years ago, has also affected Musk’s Starlink satellite internet communications service.
Musk made the comments in a forum on X Space, part of his social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Discussions at the forum included lawmakers and businessmen who opposed the Senate bill that included additional aid for Ukraine.
Participants included Republican senators Johnson (Wisconsin), Vance (Ohio), and Lee (Utah), as well as Vivek Ramaswamy, who withdrew from the race for the Republican nomination for the 2024 US presidential election, and Craft Ventures. Co-founder David Sachs and others.
Mr Johnson said those who expected Ukraine to win were “living in a fantasy world”. Mr. Musk spoke in agreement.
“It has to be scrapped,” Vance said of the $60 billion (approximately 8.97 trillion yen) bill for aid to Ukraine, totaling $95 billion, which also includes aid to Israel, Taiwan and the Gaza Strip.
Musk added: “This spending won’t help Ukraine, and prolonging the war won’t help Ukraine.”
He believes in Ukraine’s ability to winquestionI have expressed similar opinions in the past.
