Unhelpful Tweets
UK Defence Secretary, Grant Shapps, has condemned billionaire Elon Musk for his tweets mocking Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, calling them "unhelpful". Speaking at a conference fringe event, Shapps emphasized the need for Ukraine to have "strong friends" during these challenging times.
Mocking Pleas for Aid
Musk took to Twitter to ridicule Zelensky's appeals for aid, drawing criticism for his insensitivity towards the war-torn country. Shapps, while acknowledging Musk's right to express his views, described the tweets as unhelpful.
Ukraine Needs Steady Support
Shapps emphasized the importance of Ukraine having steadfast allies who will stand by them. The mockery by Musk has further strained relations between him and the Ukrainian government, following previous controversial incidents.
Previous Controversies
Last year, Musk threatened to cut off satellite internet service for Ukrainian soldiers, allegedly due to a disagreement with an ambassador. He also caused outrage with a Twitter poll proposing a "peace" plan that would involve Ukraine ceding Crimea and the Donbas region to Russia.
The tweets and remarks by Musk have not only angered the Ukrainian government but have also sparked heated Twitter exchanges and widespread criticism, highlighting the high-profile nature of the billionaire's controversial statements.
