Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Mockery Of Ukrainian President Sparks Outrage On Social Media: 'Zelenskyy Is Fighting Russia, You Couldn't Fight Zuckerberg'

In a recent social media uproar, Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk has drawn criticism for his derogatory portrayal of Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Musk shared a meme on his Twitter platform, likening Zelenskyy to a beggar constantly seeking aid from the United States, Ukrainska Pravda reported. Musk, who recently foiled a Ukrainian drone assault on the Russian Navy in Crimea, has previously been complimented by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Musk’s post was met with swift condemnation. Comments flooded in, reminding Musk that Zelenskyy’s plea for aid is aimed at protecting his people from harm, contrasting Musk’s usage of substantial subsidies from his own country to increase his wealth and grow his businesses.

“Zelensky is fighting Russia. You couldn't fight Zuckerberg,” said one user.

Previously, Musk had been seen in a favorable light by Putin, and he had shut down Starlink to deter Ukrainians from attacking Russians.
