Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has stirred up the internet by ‘amplifying’ former Russian President and Putin friend Dmitry Medvedev’s crazy Twitter thread, in which he forecasts a US civil war and the election of the Chief Twit.
The Tesla CEO and multibillionaire said “Epic thread!!” in reaction to Medvedev’s 10 crazy forecasts for 2023.
The post, which has been viewed over 15,500,000 times and retweeted thousands of times on the social media network, has attracted criticism, with many outraged by the response.
Musk clarified his position five hours later in another tweet, calling the projections “absurd,” but was nevertheless criticized for his earlier comment.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has stirred up the internet by ‘amplifying’ former Russian President and Putin friend Dmitry Medvedev’s (pictured) insane tweet thread.
As a result of the controversial post, Mother Jones bureau chief in Washington, DC, David Corn, referred to Musk as “despicable.”
He tweeted, “This is how @elonmusk responded to a thread by pro-Putin Ukraine war cheerleader Dmitry Medvedev, who referred to Ukrainians as “cockroaches.”
In the thread, he anticipates a civil war in the United States in 2023, with Elon Musk as president. It is disgraceful that Musk promotes this war criminal.
Corn continues by stating that Musk should educate himself before to ‘legitimizing war criminals’
He stated, “@elonmusk should read this before spreading the tweets of a pro-Putin Russian official who uses homicidal rhetoric to support the Ukrainian war.”
Is this Musk’s conception of free expression? Authorization of war criminals.
The Atlantic Council piece posted by Corn describes when Medvedev compared Ukrainians to “cockroaches.”
The story states, “In early November, he claimed that Moscow was facing ‘mad Nazi drug addicts’ in Ukraine, whose Western backers had “saliva dripping down their chins from degeneracy.”
The Tesla CEO and multibillionaire said “Epic thread!!” in reaction to Medvedev’s 10 crazy forecasts for 2023. However, he returns five hours later
Russia’s mission, he declared, was to vanquish ‘the supreme ruler of Hell, whatever of his name: Satan, Lucifer, or Iblis.’
Lucy Turnbull, the wife of the former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, also blasted Musk, questioning the motivation behind the tweet.
Are you currently a Russian agent or propagandist? She questioned, “Why are you doing that?”
One Twitter user said, “Another traitor out in the open siding with a drunk war criminal who has been working to destroy the United States.” This should be successful among American investors.
Another person uploaded a photoshop of Musk in Russian military attire with the caption, “Expected nothing less.”
Musk retracted and clarified his position five hours after his initial statement, calling the former Russian president’s forecasts “absurd.”
He stated, “Those are without a doubt the most ludicrous predictions I’ve ever heard, and they also demonstrate an astounding lack of comprehension about the development of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy.”
Medvedev’s series of predictions began with oil prices for 2023 and progressed to increasingly strange statements.
Musk supporters were also seen defending him, with many arguing that it was a straightforward and obvious joke.
One Twitter user stated, “To all the keyboard warriors who can’t tell that Elon is trolling, y’all need to walk outdoors and get some fresh air.”
Musk replied, “100 hahaha”
Another user stated, “I believe you misunderstand someone’s assertion that something is epic as agreement.”
“I believe that this discussion is definitely spectacular. It is astounding that someone of his standing believes or pretends to believe that this will occur. However, I disagree with it.
Medvedev’s series of predictions began with oil prices for 2023 and progressed to increasingly strange statements.
He penned, “Oil prices will increase to $150 per barrel, and gas prices will surpass $5,000 per one thousand cubic meters.”
His second prognostication was that “the United Kingdom will rejoin the European Union” and “the EU will collapse after the United Kingdom’s return; the Euro will cease to be the former EU currency.”
He said, “Poland and Hungary will occupy the old Ukraine’s western provinces.”
David Corn, DC bureau head of the investigative news organization Mother Jones, referred to Musk as “despicable” in the wake of his contentious tweet, which drew widespread criticism.
His sixth prognostication was that the ‘Fourth Reich will be established, comprising the area of Germany and its satellites, namely Poland, the Baltic republics, Czechia, Slovakia, the Kiev Republic, and other exiles.’
Among his ten forecasts for the following year, he predicted that France and the Fourth Reich would go to war.
Europe will be divided, and Poland will be redrawn as a result, and Northern Ireland will separate from the United Kingdom and join the Republic of Ireland.
In early October of this year, it was reported that Musk’s Starlink satellite internet will no longer be supplied for free to Ukrainians, and that Musk’s SpaceX company has reportedly asked the Pentagon to cover the cost.
Musk hinted he may discontinue the free service when the Ukrainian ambassador treated him rudely.
According to Forbes’ real-time Billionaire’s list, one of the richest men in the world has a net worth of $141.8 billion. Earlier this month, he infuriated many Ukrainians with a proposal to end Russia’s war in their country by asking Kyiv to cede territory gained by Moscow since its invasion in February.
That caused Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, to respond strongly by telling him to “f*** off” in response to his suggestion that the Russian invasion of Ukraine may be halted by, among other things, formally allowing Russia to seize Crimea.
Musk stated, in response to the latest development, that he is merely following the Ukrainian ambassador’s advice.
The charge from top Kremlin diplomat Sergei Lavrov is among the latest crazy forecasts for 2023 from the Russian dictator’s closest allies, as shown in Medvedev’s Twitter thread.
On November 8 in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a news conference. He asserted that the West is attempting to kill Vladimir Putin.
The most recent statements by Lavrov and Medvedev suggest that the West is courting conflict with Russia.
Ukraine responded that it will find a method to keep Starlink operational.
Musk’s face was also obscured on a massive billboard in a Ukrainian city, after he proposed that Russia should retain control of sections of the nation in order to create peace and eliminate the threat of nuclear war.
Medvedev’s prediction continued by stating, “A civil war will break out in the United States, resulting in the secession of California and Texas.”
“Texas and Mexico will form a state alliance.” Musk will win the presidential election in a handful of states that will be awarded to the GOP after the conclusion of the next Civil War.
The main stock markets and financial activity will relocate from the United States and Europe to Asia, he continued.
His eleventh and last prognostication for 2023 was that the Bretton Woods system of monetary management will fail, causing the IMF and the World Bank to fail. The Euro and the Dollar will cease to be the global reserve currencies. Instead, digital fiat currency will be actively utilized.
Medvedev concluded his letter by wishing his Anglo-Saxon buddies and their gleefully squealing piglets a happy holiday.
The list is a response to the Kremlin’s foreign minister’s accusation that the West is plotting to kill Vladimir Putin.
The charge by top Kremlin diplomat Sergei Lavrov is among the latest insane forecasts for 2023 from the Russian dictator’s closest associates.
Lavrov, a veteran foreign minister and Moscow hawk, told TASS that ‘unknown personnel’ in the Pentagon are openly organizing an assassination attempt against Putin.
‘Washington is in the lead, as ‘anonymous officials’ from the Pentagon have actually threatened a ‘decapitating strike’ against the Kremlin, which is a threat of an attempted assassination of the Russian president,’ he claimed.
He cautioned, “If such ideas are indeed being contemplated, then whoever is considering them should consider the potential repercussions of their actions more carefully.”
The most recent statements from Lavrov and Medvedev imply that the West seeks conflict with Russia.
Lavrov stated, “It appears that they have discarded all remnants of decency.”
