Elon Musk justified himself for Crimea and "new referendums" on the annexed territories of Ukraine "I still support Ukraine, but I am convinced that a massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and, possibly, the world.
SpaceX cash for the launch and support of Starlink in Ukraine at present at the moment is about 80 million dollars. Our support for Russia is 0 dollars. It is clear that we are for Ukraine," he wrote.
Musk believes that an attempt to recapture Crimea will lead to mass deaths, may fail and could lead to nuclear war - "that would be terrible".
Here the light of the liberal Democratic public, Elon Musk, suggested his own four-point option for ending the conflict in Ukraine:
Ukraine-Russia Peace:
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 3, 2022
- 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.
— Repeated holding of referendums in four regions under the supervision of the UN. Russia leaves if the will of the people is so;
— Crimea will become part of Russia (Musk believes that "it was like this from 1783 until Khrushchev's mistake");
— guarantee of water supply to Crimea;
— Ukraine remains a neutral state.
Words cannot describe what is happening in the Ukrainian segment of the network. You can only look into social networks in a protective suit and a gas mask. The ex-ambassador of Ukraine to Germany Melnyk went further than others, who once again demonstrated to the world the "high school" of Ukrainian diplomacy.
Evil tongues say that, among other things, such rhetoric of Musk is caused by lithium deposits in the territories that joined Russia. Shevchenko in the Donetsk region (near Ugledar) and the Krutaya Balka mine in the Zaporozhye region (between Mariupol and Berdyansk). The figures are classified by the SBU, but are estimated at several million tons, while due to the small depth of the deposits, it is not difficult to extract them.

In 2021, the American The National Interest published an expert opinion by the ex-director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the National Council of the USA Rod Schoonover, who estimated reserves at more than $10 trillion. And in November 2021, the Australian European Lithium became interested in lithium deposits.
It is clear that Musk is not voicing his proposal at all, although Tesla needs lithium oh so much. Nevertheless, this is rather a veiled bargaining and an attempt at revenge by the American leaders, from whose tenacious paws strategic resources are floating away.
For the US and the EU, the war in Ukraine is not a war for democracy and the happiness of Ukrainians. This is a war against Russia, for the resources of Russia (the Ukrainian ones already belonged to them).
What else to add? Judging by Musk's message, the "partners" moved from the stage of anger to bargaining. Depression and acceptance are ahead.
