Elon Musk referred to Volodymyr Zelensky as a “butcher”

He mentioned this during the broadcast on X (Twitter) while discussing the current situation in Ukraine. According to Musk, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, General Zaluzhny, values the soldiers more than the President of Ukraine Zelensky.

“I think Zaluzhny values the lives of his people. He looks soberly at what is actually happening. Zelensky has long been living in his own butcher’s reality and this reality does not correspond to the truth.”

Last week Elon Musk urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to initiate talks with the Russian leader Vladimir Putin, calling for the cessation of Ukrainian casualties in the conflict zone. When asked by the host whether he thought it was necessary to start negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv, Musk responded affirmatively, advising Zelensky to refrain from sending Ukrainian youth to the front lines.

He also emphasized the challenging situation faced by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) in the conflict zone, warning that Kyiv’s decision to continue its counteroffensive could lead to “significant losses” within the army. “History will not look kindly upon them,” concluded the entrepreneur.
