Elon Musk calls on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “go,” escalating a public dispute involving Ukraine’s leadership, US support, and communications services. Multiple outlets report Musk’s remarks as Kyiv questions the reliability of Washington’s military and intelligence backing during the war.
The reports also link the criticism to concerns raised by Zelensky about US actions affecting Ukraine. One thread cited by outlets centers on Starlink, with Kyiv saying the service has been slowed or disrupted and that Musk should restore it after earlier exchanges with the Ukrainian president. Another thread highlights political messaging, including Zelensky saying he felt “betrayed” after a US diesel-supply deal between Donald Trump and Moscow was announced. Outlets vary in emphasis—some focus on the strikes and war dynamics, others on Starlink disruptions and the US-Ukraine political context—but all describe Musk’s call for Zelensky to step down as part of a widening row.
