00:00 In a recent discussion on X-Spaces, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk made headlines with
00:09 his controversial remarks about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the role of Russian
00:14 President Vladimir Putin.
00:16 Musk was addressing US Republican senators.
00:20 The SpaceX CEO opposed to a draft bill providing additional wartime aid to Ukraine.
00:26 He suggested that Putin is under immense pressure to end the conflict.
00:30 Elon Musk asserted that Putin was not going to lose the war in Ukraine.
00:35 He said that if Putin backed out, he would probably be assassinated.
00:40 The billionaire entrepreneur, known for his outspoken views, also expressed skepticism
00:45 about the effectiveness of US assistance and the prolongation of the war.
00:50 Interestingly, Musk denied accusations of defending Vladimir Putin.
00:55 He stated that his companies, particularly Starlink, have undermined Russia more than
01:00 anything else.
01:01 The mention of Starlink brings us back to September of 2023, when Elon Musk rejected
01:08 an emergency request from the Ukrainian government to activate the SpaceX-owned satellite communications
01:14 network during a military offensive, fearing it could lead to conflict escalation.
01:19 Despite the refusal, since Russia's full-scale invasion in February of 2022, Ukraine's military
01:26 has heavily relied on Starlink, providing frontline troops with crucial communication
01:31 capabilities.
01:33 In a surprising turn, Musk also expressed doubts about the possibility of a regime change
01:39 in Russia, suggesting that any person capable of taking out the Russian president would
01:44 likely be even more hardcore than Putin.
01:46 Elon Musk's comments have sparked intense debate and discussion, adding a new layer
01:52 to the already complex geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe.
