“Do you think this accurately represents Zelensky’s position, or is the situation more complex than this meme suggests?,” another commented.
“A leader who can’t win but refuses to stop is a leader who doesn’t care how many have to die,” said another.
Musk’s warning to Zelensky
In another post, the billionaire replied to his post from October 2022, warning the Ukrainian president.
“What I said over 2 years ago was that Ukraine should seek peace or suffer severe loss of life for no gains. The latter was Zelensky’s choice,” he wrote. “Now, he wants to do that again. This is cruel and inhumane.”

This comes as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to host a crucial defence summit in London on March 2 to gather support for securing a just and enduring peace in Ukraine as Russia continues the ongoing invasion.
Starmer will be hosting European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who arrived in the UK on Saturday.
