On Monday, one of Elon Musk’s Twitter posts again sparked discussion about Russia and the war in Ukraine. He was asked about the likelihood of the outbreak of World War III. “If Russia is faced with the choice of losing Crimea or using nuclear weapons on the battlefield, it will choose the latter,” he said.

“Whether some like it or not, Crimea is unconditionally regarded by Russia as an integral part of it,” Musk wrote. He added that “Crimea is also of paramount importance for Russia’s national security as it is its southern naval base.”

From their perspective, losing Crimea is like losing Hawaii and Pearl Harbor to the United States,” Musk said.

Elon Musk caused a real storm last week when he published his proposal for a “peaceful solution” to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The billionaire’s list of proposals included, among others: recognition of Crimea as Russian and “neutral” status for Ukraine.

As Rzeczpospolita recalls, Musk was addressed Monday on Twitter by Mykhailo Podolak, an adviser to the head of the chancellery of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

If you capitulate to Russia every time you hear nuclear threats, after how many similar repetitions will SpaceX become SpaceZ with “Dmitry Rogozin” as CEO? And how many other countries will embark on a chaotic nuclear race to defend themselves? Questionable strategy… he wrote.

On Friday October 14, the media were informed that Elon Musk will withdraw from Ukraine satellite support with Starlink systemsbecause it is no longer able to finance it. On Saturday, his company SpaceX will continue to fund Internet access through Stralink terminals in Ukraine. The richest man in the world has changed his mind about this.

Earlier, in a letter to Pentagon officials, he stressed that he could not support the Ukrainians indefinitely. “To hell with that” – we read in the billionaire’s Saturday entry on Twitter.
