Washington –
Elon Musk asked the United States to stop helping Ukraine in weapons. The captain of SpaceX and Tesla believes that Vladimir Putin and Russia will not lose in this war. In other words, Elon considers it useless to help Ukraine.
He made these remarks in a discussion with Republican senator Ron Johnson on Twitter/X, regarding the funding bill for Ukraine. The Democrat-led Senate is meeting for final approval of an aid package worth USD 95.34 billion for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
President Joe Biden has urged Congress to speed up new aid to Ukraine as Kyiv officials warn they are short of weapons at a time when Russia continues to launch new attacks.
Initially, senator Johnson expressed opposition to new aid to Ukraine. “We all have to understand that Vladimir Putin will not lose this war. Putin’s defeat is a big threat to him,” he was quoted as saying detikINET from Insider.
He believes that Ukraine also lacks troops. Even if many weapons were deployed, there were not enough people to operate them. “The only way this war ends is a deal and if the war continues, more Ukrainian and Russian soldiers die, more civilians die,” he said.
Well Elon Musk agrees with that opinion. “That’s absolutely true. Whenever I bring up this point, people accuse me of being some kind of Putin apologist when my company has probably done more to weaken Russia than anything else,” he said, referring to Starlink’s internet access assistance to Ukraine.
According to him, if the war continues, more Ukrainians will die every day. Ammunition and weapons assistance could be provided if Ukraine succeeded in annexing territory or there was progress, but that did not happen.
“If you want to take life, it has to have a purpose,” he said. Elon Musk also claimed that there was no way Putin would lose and that if the Russian president stepped down, he would be killed.
Elon also warned that if anyone were to destroy and replace Putin, it would likely be someone more hardline than Putin.
