Elon Musk Challenges Zelenskyy, Vows to Reform X After Ukraine Claims

Elon Musk has intensified his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming he is 'despised' by Ukrainians and challenging him to hold elections, which have been postponed due to wartime conditions. Musk's remarks align with US President Donald Trump's accusations that Zelenskyy is a 'dictator' and the decision to exclude him from US-Russia negotiations. Musk also announced plans to address perceived manipulation of his social media platform X's community notes feature, which users employ to fact-check misleading claims about Zelenskyy’s popularity. Despite Trump's assertion that Zelenskyy's approval rating has plummeted to 4%, recent polling indicates it is actually around 57%. Experts have dismissed Trump's claims as factually incorrect and harmful to Ukraine's narrative amidst ongoing conflict. The escalating tension reflects a growing division in US support for Ukraine as the war continues.
