Elon Musk (pictured), CEO of Tesla, claimed that there was no way Putin would be defeated because Russian President Vladimir Putin would be assassinated if he backed down from the war in Ukraine. For this reason, he opposed additional U.S. support for Ukraine.
According to American media such as Bloomberg News on the 13th (local time), during a discussion on the Ukraine war held on X (formerly Twitter)’s ‘ “If you step back, you will be assassinated,” he said. He then declared, “There is no way Putin can be defeated.” For this reason, he said he was opposed to the U.S.’s additional support budget bill for Ukraine.
He also expressed his opinion that he doubted whether it would be wise to pursue President Putin’s ouster. “Those who want regime change in Russia should think regarding who might remove Putin and whether that person might be a pacifist,” Musk said. “Probably not,” he said.
Musk also refuted the accusation, saying that he is sometimes accused of being ‘Putin’s defender’ and calling it “absurd.” He said his company has “done a lot to weaken Russia,” including providing SpaceX’s Starlink internet service to Ukraine following Russia’s invasion and Space Points, etc. were cited as examples.
Previously, President Putin received attention for his positive evaluation of Musk. In an interview with former U.S. Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson released on the 9th (Korean time), he praised Musk, saying, “I think Musk is a smart person.”
