Elon Musk: 'If I Die Under Mysterious Circumstances...'

Billionaire Elon Musk knows that you don't become the richest man in the world without making a few enemies.

On Sunday night, the Tesla CEO revealed that he might be concerned - not over his recent acquisition of Twitter - but of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began in late February.

For those who may be unaware, the SpaceX founder has been providing Ukraine use of its StarLink satellite system to give residents under siege in Ukraine access to Internet services, even as Russian military forces try to cut off their electricity, heat, food, and water supply.

Musk posted a translated Russian tweet, saying, “From the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, it turns out that the internet terminals of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the Nazi Azov Battalion and the Ukrainian Marines in Mariupol by military helicopters.”

“According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink equipment was carried out by the Pentagon,” the statement continues.

It concludes, “Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment. And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult – no matter how much you’ll play the fool.”

Musk criticized the tweet, commenting, “The word ‘Nazi’ doesn’t mean what he seems to think it does.”

Shortly after, Musk tweeted, “If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya.”

An account from a user in Saudi Arabia tweeted, “You won’t die before your day Elon. Anyhow, you are/were a unique figure in this world. I’m only wondering one thing: As a genius, haven’t you find out that there is a great creator of this world yet? If you did, make sure you confess this before your last heart beat. Bless u.”

Musk commented, “Thank you for the blessing, but I’m ok with going to h---, if that is indeed my destination, since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there.”

The original poster replied, “My duty was to advise you, not to change your destination Elon. Also, as per of my duty, I will still wish you the best. Good luck you Goodman.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the SpaceX founder for his support in providing Ukraine with its much-needed Starlink systems.

“Talked to @elonmusk,” he tweeted at the beginning of March. “I’m grateful to him for supporting Ukraine with words and deeds. Next week we will receive another batch of Starlink systems for destroyed cities. Discussed possible space projects. But I’ll talk about this after the war.”

Many users expressed support for Elon Musk supporting Ukraine in the crisis.

“@elonmusk believes on furthering humanity with good actions,” one user wrote. “He follows through.”

“Hey @JeffBezos can Ukraine expect any help from you?” another asked, referring to Bezos’ Blue Origin. Others had idea how Bezos could use his Amazon service to help refugees.

“Right? Wouldn't it be great if Ukrainians and other war refugees could create @amazon wish lists, people all over the world could buy items for refugees, and Bezos could use his drones and robots to deliver the goods?” one user suggested.

“That’s a great idea,” another replied.
