Ubiquitous billionaire Elon Musk mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over the foreign leader’s requests for aid late Sunday night.

On X, Musk posted a popular meme image of an agitated young man with veins bulging out of his forehead with Zelensky’s face photoshopped in and the caption, “When it’s been 5 minutes and you haven’t asked for a billion dollars.”

Somebody needs to yank his government subsidies and tax breaks.

This should have automatically happened after he personally shutdown starlink during a Ukrainian assault. How does that not qualify for aiding the enemy? We have sanctions on anyone or business that have aided Russia. How is he exempt?

That would be nice, instead half the European leaders are sucking his dick to get a Tesla plant in their country, or kissing his ass for political donations

He is such a disgusting excuse for a human. He doesn't care about anything but himself.
