The idea that Ukraine is going to hold an election when the country is an active war zone and 20 percent of it is under foreign occupation is beyond ludicrous

The will of the people? Half of the people have had to flee to other countries because of the invasion. Elon Musk is dense. How do you hold a free and fair election after half the people had to leave? Why is Starlink still in Ukraine? Starlink is a security risk to any nation using it.
Elon is pushing for America to betray Ukraine. We need to push back & call our reps. to make sure we keep supporting Ukraine. https://youtu.be/odFG5YupiAE
freedom of the press? is this the same people ewho banned people from press breifings because of the gulf of mexico scandle? Every accusation is admission indeed.
Putin and the Kremlin are world experts at manipulating elections. They did it in Belarus. They did it in Ukraine before the quiet revolution which elected Zelensky they did it in the US in 2016. Elections are good in the right circumstances. Not here for university.
This guy thinks that his wealth automatically gives him total knowledge and wisdom. He knows everything, he is an authority on everything, when in reality he is a poor ignorant fool.
He climbed onto a donkey and already believes himself to be God.
"Hold a presidential election in the middle of a war against an occupying power" said the robber baron who wasn't elected to anything but is somehow the acting President of the United States after he staged a coup of our gov't.
Think of all the active duty soldiers and displaced Ukrainians who would be disenfranchised. They know this. They are lying to turn the tide against Zelenskyy.
Both Elon and the felon know why elections are suspended in Ukraine. They are just spewing hate and negative propaganda to benefit Putin.
The same way they are dismantling the US government, for their puppet master.
The fascists' playbook, and tRump's too. Amerika's good at this. Create a ridiculous demand and then punish them when it isn't done. Amerika's been creating pretexts to seize Indian land, attack Korea, attack Vietnam, attack Panama, attack Iraq, etc., etc. It's part of its violent nature.
It's like we forgot how Russian phone numbers called in bomb threats to election centers in Georgia and other states ON ELECTION DAY to interfere with the election and suppress the vote.
The U.S. held an election during a major war on... foreign soil. Ridiculous to expect Ukraine to hold an election while Russia bombs their major population centers...
Zelenskyy should not take advice from two men who ruin every enterprise they touch. He is president of a nation at war against a foreign invader. He can call elections when he thinks it is time.
This is literally Russian propaganda, spouted by a billionaire with the keys to the USA. WTF is being allowed here???? The GOP is worried about being “primaried”?? The GOP is selling out our country and they don’t even realize they’re already irrelevant.
Ballot drops were blown up in USA. And bomb threats called in on polling stations. That’s in a country that hasn’t been invaded by a hostile neighbor. Imagine what Russia would do to the polling locations during an election.
When Elon says "we held elections during the Civil War," he is actually quite wrong. "We" for him and Trump of course means the Confederacy and the Confederacy did not hold elections for the same reason as Ukraine, large parts of their territory was occupied by their enemy, the Union Army.
Also, I can't imagine Ukrainians voting for anyone other than Zelenskyy unless the outcome was rigged. Even calling for an election reads like an admission that that's what they're planning
Yet they aren't in America and unless you are going over the to head the war in Ukraine and put your own life on the line, then you have no place to make and statement in the matter to begin with!
They want so badly to have an excuse to declare martial law here. If that happened you would never hear Elmo call for elections under any circumstances.
This is the stupidest take. If half of the US had been bombed into oblivion and a huge chunk of the population living in exile, you can bet there wouldn’t have been elections
Exactly, we went to those wars. With the exception of Pearl Harbor, they didn't touch our soil. I'm tired of being governed by the stupidest among us. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Musk is comparing apples to oranges. Civil War/Workd Wars? We can’t even hold a legit election in modern day USA let alone war torn/Russua occupied Ukraine. Guess he’s angling to help another dictator.
Trump's gun is about to be aimed at all of us so unless we do something drastic real soon he will start targeting all free speech. His DOJ is already targeting voices and making arrest warrants.
I would not be surprised if he tries and executes Biden first given his most recent comments.
Why are all Republican arguments fallacious? Is it because they don't understand logic?* Or is it because they are intentionally targeting suckers who fall for logical fallacies? They target appeals to the brainwashed, the superstitious, the uneducated, the bigoted.
*For Tuberville, it is obvious.
Russia is not fighting a limited objective war. Ukraine is. Putin's stated objective is to effectively enslave Ukraine and erase their cultural identity He has a list of people to arrest, torture, and murder for defending Ukraine's cultural legacy. That is one of the legal definitions of genocide.
A Russian ransomware attack last summer took money out of my pocket. Russia is our enemy. Ukraine has a constitution. Why is Musk trying to help Putin's genocide? Are there adults stupid enough to believe this loathesome lying pusbucket?
We get zilch from Trump's weak deal with Russia. Zip. Nada.
"Martial law is established as a concept in the Ukrainian Constitution and last updated by the national legislature in 2015, before Zelensky entered politics."
Russians have literally targeted buildings with '' women and children inside '' written on it from above.
And in occupied territory they have '' human safaris '' where they hunt civilians and blow them up with drones.
The orange blob doesn't, doesn't want to or can't understand that. He's raving about Zelenskyys ratings? in the middle of a war. He is running a country that's been INVADED by russia, doesn't have time for polls like the fat turd in the Whitehouse, Maral whatever beach resort, golf course resort 🤬
Ah, uh, um ... says the So. African illegal immigrant clueless on how the US gov't works. Con fraudster who paid for the 2024 election & manipulated voting machines. The self-interested oligarch w/ serious conflict of interests re gov't contracts. Demanding elections, now that's rich! Pun intended!
Eric Schmitt was just asked to game out how Ukraine holds elections right now. He said we did it once so they can too. Only thing is when we did it there weren’t missiles flying through the air. Always wild to me how willing they are to show how fucking dumb they are.
America held an election in 1864, but the states in enemy hands were excluded. Does Elon think Russian held territories should be considered Ukraine for purposes of casting ballots?
Hate to break it to him but the southern states didn’t count in the 1864 election. It was the tail end of the war and southern states didn’t get to play. So no, we didn’t have a US election in the Civil war.
Oh, Musty looking to interfere and meddle in an election he thinks should occur in a country he’s trying to help conquer. A repeat performance from the one he just hacked in the US.
I think this election demand is the most intriguing of these awful positions on Ukraine, because it is the one that is so blatantly straight from the Kremlin
The message is meant for the MAGA twats. They couldn’t possibly understand the problem with having elections while being invaded by Russia. MAGA is a very sad group.
Liars are evil, I didn't used to believe evil was a real thing just being some form of mental illness. Nope. Evil incarnate. Have you noticed the more Musk is around Trump the more he acts like him? That is because Trump is a demon.
Yes, the United States held elections during WWI and WWII.
But the United States wasn't under enemy occupation during WWI or WWII and there weren't firefights on the streets of Philadelphia or tanks rolling through Atlanta.
The Ukraine parliament votes on extending martial law. Zelensky can't extend martial law unilaterally. As president, he offers a decree of martial law which the parliament must approve within 48 hours or else it does not go into effect. Maybe Elon should ask his AI to explain this to him.
Ukraine's constitution doesn't permit elections while the country's under martial law, a thing which was automatically triggered when Russia attacked it on 24 Feb 2022 -- but Musk et al. aren't folks who care very much about the rule of law.
It can't be. Elon is a genius. He must be right...and yes, I know I'm snarky but I'm sick of people telling mehe's an effing genius, so I take it out on innocent posters. Sorry Aaron.
My gut tells me their insistence of an election in Ukraine is Trump/Putin/Musk will rig if, just like they did 2024… they will get Zelenskyy out somehow and take over… seems unlikely to happen ??? Trump usually tells us what he’s planning.
If he held an election and won, they'd claim it was corrupt, and if he held it and lost, and they didn't like the outcome, they'd claim it was corrupt, if he cured the blind and walked on water, they'd call him the AntiChrist.
These are bad-faith assholes, there's no "good" interpretation for them
Freedom of the press? Didn't Elon tweet 2 days ago:
“60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election. They deserve a long prison sentence.”
The USA no longer gets to have an opinion. They forfeited that privilege when they abandoned Ukraine - just like the USA abandoned the Kurds and Afghans
Musk would be better off butting his nose out of it. He isn’t contributing anything other than propaganda. Zelensky is fifty times the leader that Trump is
It's a foolish distraction from Trump, Vance, and Hegseth destroying a successful, positive 80-year alliance solely for the personal gains and aspirations of a convicted felon and his Russian owner.
When do we hold The Heritage Foundation accountable? At this point the organization should be considered a terrorist organization and a hostile domestic entity bent on this coup and destroying the U.S. Government!
“Right now, President Zelenskyy is the leader of the free world. He is the one holding up the democratic Western alliance and defending the values that America stood for until last November—values that Europe still upholds today.”
Good grief! A little historical context for "Rapid Response Douchebag 47 Team" The 1864 election was held in the North with no Confederate troops north of the Mason-Dixon line and Election of 1944, last time I checked, was held with none of the combatants as a serious threat to the U.S. mainland.

Musk is an invader attacking our country.
While he's at it, check the USA Constitution too
Well Ukraine did it.....
Poor kids. Poor 13 kids he fathered. Too busy interfering in other peoples lives to pay attention to his own.
Some guy on CNN said Musk has a special brain and knows how to fly things into space.
You really can't fix stupid.
Time for him to be removed.
He climbed onto a donkey and already believes himself to be God.
Oh yeah, murdered in prison. Elon seems a-ok with that, though.
The same way they are dismantling the US government, for their puppet master.
Wake the f*ck up America!
So, maybe no one in the US especially Elonia should be pointing fingers, right noe.
I would not be surprised if he tries and executes Biden first given his most recent comments.
*For Tuberville, it is obvious.
We get zilch from Trump's weak deal with Russia. Zip. Nada.
They KNOW the truth and are trying to ignore it.
And in occupied territory they have '' human safaris '' where they hunt civilians and blow them up with drones.
So yeah they'd 100% target voting hotspots.

Not everything is done like it is in the States.
Trump zero

If they fall for that there is zero reasoning with them.
Russians have literally targeted buildings with '' women and children inside '' written on it.
They'd likely target voting offices too...

We just held an election and the rapist who won handed control to you an unelected rapist.
Youngest people they send to the frontline are 25..
None of us should need to even feel a need to describe or detail its stupid. Just call it stupid!
Musk & Trump are FUCKING STUPID!!!
Putin could shut down his entire espionage program. No need for it. USA gave him more than that.
But the United States wasn't under enemy occupation during WWI or WWII and there weren't firefights on the streets of Philadelphia or tanks rolling through Atlanta.

In England they could in WWII but they were not being invaded at the time
Elections always cause division, which is obviously not good in a time of war.
These are bad-faith assholes, there's no "good" interpretation for them
“60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election. They deserve a long prison sentence.”
We must to stop him. Then send him back to South Africa.
I doubt it. But maybe there's something.
