But the request for funding comes after a high-profile intervention from Musk, who suggested Ukraine should seek an end to the war by surrendering territory to Russia and committing to remain “neutral”. His tweets led to a furious reaction from the Ukrainian government, which had previously praised Musk for offering the Starlink system.
Proper reaction IMO

I think the needless antagonism is Musk telling Ukraine to just make peace with whatever Russia wants to do.

The excerpt from the article doesn't show it but the request for funding was before this guy told him to eff off. It was even before he gave his theory on what Ukraine should negotiate

Of course he was going to request funding, he is a grifter.

Looks like this is actually going to happen, which I guess I'm happy with since he wasn't able to squirm out of it just because he's rich.

We'll see if he fires 75% of the employees like he said.

Over under on Trump getting unbanned?

Uhm, that's a bug, not a feature. Is he really this naive?

Yes because his Twitter expressed opinions on the Russia-Ukraine war has been so unbiased and informative.

What he means is wants to spread more misinformation on twitter that aligns with his stupidity.

He's a smart man but Elon is like a lot of successful business people that think genius at their craft translates to other domains they have very little understanding of.

Elon is confusing "citizen journalism" with the unrequested shouting of nobodies with opinions, including myself.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now in charge of Twitter, CNBC’s David Faber reported on Thursday.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and chief financial officer Ned Segal have left the company’s San Francisco headquarters and will not be returning.

Musk had until Friday to complete his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter or face a court battle with the company.

I do find it beautiful that it only took a billionaire wasting a bunch of money to (possibly) get Trump unbanned on twitter.

I'm guessing my ban for suggesting Putin was on his knees fellating Xi and pretty soon Russia's only export will be their blonde daughters to Bejing and Shanghai massage parlors will stay in place though

This is a shame but I’ve decided that I won’t abandon my large Twitter account unless Musk starts charging me. I don’t look forward to the Orange Menace being reinstated Monday. I hope Musk runs Twitter into the ground and he loses billions.
