On Monday, Elon Musk tweeted a proposal for what he termed "Ukraine-Russia Peace." It didn't land well with many. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO's idea: "Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people. Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake). Water supply to Crimea assured. Ukraine remains neutral." He added, "This is highly likely to be the outcome in the end – just a question of how many die before then." He put the plan up for a yes/no poll, and quite a few replies in the comments let him know in no uncertain terms that their answer was "no." So did many big names who responded both on and off Twitter:
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: He tweeted his own poll asking, "Which @elonmusk do you like more?" The poll answer options were "One who supports Ukraine" and "one who supports Russia." Musk replied, "I still very much support Ukraine, but am convinced that massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and possibly the world."
