New York: Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has been facing criticism for voicing anti-Ukraine sentiments, again poured his remarks favouring the victory of Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he could not afford to lose the battle. According to Musk, the Russian boss would be assassinated if Putin took his steps back. "If he were to back off, he (Putin) would be assassinated," Musk said during 'X Space'-- a way to have live audio conversations on Twitter.
While discussing the proposed $95.34 billion military aid package for Ukraine and other allies with the Republican senators, Musk opined that "there is no way in hell" that Putin could lose the war on Ukraine. During the 'X Space' conversation, Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate, and David Sacks, a co-founder of Craft Ventures LLC, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, JD Vance of Ohio and Mike Lee of Utah, were joined in criticising US President Joe Biden for pouring such hefty amount of money into the ongoing war.

Musk criticises Biden's call for pouring more aid to Ukraine
Meanwhile, the Tesla CEO also asserted that the Americans should contact their legislators and have a discussion on the funding that the Biden administration has been lending to Kyiv ever since the war escalated around two years ago. It is worth mentioning this was not the first time when Musk openly criticised the Biden administration for providing funding to Ukraine which he opined was nearly impossible for Kyiv to win the battle. He said that providing aid to Ukraine would not end the war and added it would only stretch the timeline of the battle.
Further, as the conversation proceeded, Musk rejected the claims that he had been providing relief or not doing enough to prevent Moscow from booming its economy. According to the Tesla CEO, he has done enough to undermine the Russian economy.
He said his company Starlink has been providing communication services to Ukraine ever since Russia struck down several communication channels in Kyiv. Several reports claim Starlink played a crucial role in assisting the Ukranian army in deploying advanced weapons against Russia.
