Elon Musk Tweets His Russia - Ukraine Peace Plan

CNBC: Elon Musk infuriates Ukraine with a Twitter poll on how the Russia war should end 

* American tech billionaire Elon Musk drew the public ire of Ukraine’s top officials after he claimed to know the most likely outcome of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. 

* “Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply to you,” Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, wrote in response to Musk’s tweet. 

* The sharp rebukes were also notable because Musk has earned quasi folk-hero status in Ukraine since the start of the conflict. 

Blue-check mark gatekeepers, journalists, bots, pundits and even government officials are out in force, angrily reacting to Elon Musk's Monday tweet which merely explored the possibilities for peaceful resolution in Ukraine. 

Musk offered a Ukraine-Russia peace proposal, and encouraged his followers to vote on whether they think it's a good idea or not, proposing a "redo" of referendums for the four annexed regions of eastern Ukraine which Vladimir Putin declared part of the Russian Federation last week. It would also be conditioned on Ukraine remaining neutral vis-a-vis future NATO membership.
