Elon Musk on Russia-Ukraine War: ‘I Have No Respect for the Warmongers and the War Profiteers’

TRANSCRIPT:

Musk: “Well, I have no respect for the war mongers and the war profiteers and those who want the war to continue forever for their own purposes. This is, in my view, an evil thing, because I’ll talk to someone on the left and they’ll say, ‘We must not give n to Russia,’ and I’m like, ‘But you have no plan for success.’ So what you are suggesting then is that we send these poor kids into the meat grinder every day for nothing, with no end in sight, forever. That is cruel, inhumane and senseless. So, President Trump is right in this regard. There must be peace and it’s time for the slaughter of the young men and old men to stop. Why — it’s time to stop this senseless death machine. That’s really what it comes down to. There are those who like to have the appearance of empathy, but they don’t have the reality of empathy. Those who are pro-war, they have the appearance of empathy. They’re hypocrites and liars. If you want the reality of empathy, we must stop the senseless everyday death that lasts forever. That’s what is true empathy is. We should care about those men who are dying in the trenches in Ukraine and Russia who don’t want to be there, they’re conscripted, they’re forced to be there, they’re forced to — Ukraine conscripted, Russia conscripted, they’re forced to kill each other. Why? For how long? It’s time to stop.”
