Elon Musk, the newly appointed nominee for the US Department of Government Efficiency, has taken a jab at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on his social media platform, X. The billionaire reacted to Zelensky’s recent statement that Ukraine is an independent nation and cannot be forced by the US to engage in negotiations with Russia.
Musk responded with a sarcastic remark, saying, “His sense of humor is wonderful,” accompanied by a laughing emoticon. He also shared a BBC article from 2021 highlighting Zelensky’s past career as a comedian before he entered politics.
The exchange comes at a time of ongoing tension between Ukraine and Russia, with global leaders discussing potential paths to peace. Musk’s comment, however, sparked mixed reactions online, with some users criticizing his mockery, while others found his response humorous. This incident marks another controversial moment for Musk, who has previously weighed in on international conflicts through his influential social media platform.
