3 Dead in Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship in Atlantic Ocean: WHO

Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk delved into geopolitics on Twitter on Monday, proposing possible peace solutions in the Ukraine-Russia military conflict.

Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1576969255031296000?s=20&t=YBhjE83pM1wO3yIMBe48qQ">presented</a> a four-part plan to facilitate peace in Eastern Europe and asked his followers for their thoughts.

The first step in Musk's concept is to "redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision." If the public votes against a Russian takeover, then Moscow "leaves if that is will of the people."

The second part is to reaffirm Crimea as formally part of Russia, "as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev's mistake)."

The final two aspects consisted of assuring the water supply in Crimea and having Ukraine remain a neutral party.

"This is highly likely to be the outcome in the end – just a question of how many die before then," he tweeted. "Also worth noting that a possible, albeit unlikely, outcome from this conflict is nuclear war."

The poll received 61.5 percent "No" votes, compared to 38.5 percent "Yes" votes.

He later <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1576994262226702336?s=20&t=YBhjE83pM1wO3yIMBe48qQ">established</a> a second yes or no Twitter poll, asking if the will of Crimea and Donbas residents "should decide whether they're part of Russia or Ukraine." More than half (57.2 percent) voted "Yes," while 42.8 percent voted "No."

When a user noted that he is "enraging many Ukrainians" by suggesting “the biggest bot attack” to alter the polling results, Musk replied that he does not care to be popular.

"I do care that millions of people may die needlessly for an essentially identical outcome," he wrote.

"Russia is doing partial mobilization. They go to full war mobilization if Crimea is at risk. Death on both sides will be devastating. Russia has >3 times population of Ukraine, so victory for Ukraine is unlikely in total war. If you care about the people of Ukraine, seek peace."  
<h2>Pushback on Twitter </h2>
Musk's Twitter commentary garnered the attention of the Ukrainian government and several high-profile individuals.

Mikhail Podolyan, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelenskyy's office, <a href="https://twitter.com/Podolyak_M/status/1576998661791580160?s=20&t=YBhjE83pM1wO3yIMBe48qQ">questioned</a> if Musk was attempting to "legitimize pseudo-referendums" that occurred at "gunpoint under conditions of persecution, mass executions, and torture."

The billionaire CEO rejected the premise of his question, suggesting instead "voting under UN (or pick your most trusted entity or country) supervision."

Zelenskyy also took the time to pose a Twitter question, <a href="https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1577006943499350016?s=20&t=YBhjE83pM1wO3yIMBe48qQ">asking</a> the public if they liked the Elon Musk who supports Ukraine or Russia, with 82 percent voting for the former.

Musk defended his position in a direct response to Zelenskyy.

"I still very much support Ukraine, but am convinced that massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and possibly the world," he tweeted.

Garry Kasparov, a world chess champion and chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, accused Musk of trying to "reward years of Putin's war crimes with Ukrainian blood and land."

Musk took exception to this comment, highlighting his assistance to Kyiv.

"We gave Starlinks to Ukraine & lost $80M+ in doing so, while putting SpaceX & myself at serious risk of Russian cyberattack," Musk said.

"What have you done besides tweet?" he added.

Andrij Melnysk, Ukraine's ambassador to Germany, <a href="https://twitter.com/MelnykAndrij/status/1576977000178208768?s=20&t=2GC8lz3U1VtReHUVaup6fw">lashed out against Musk</a>: "F--- off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk.

"The only outcome ist [sic] that now no Ukrainian will EVER buy your f…ing tesla crap. So good luck to you .@elonmusk," he <a href="https://twitter.com/MelnykAndrij/status/1576980433564147712?s=20&t=2GC8lz3U1VtReHUVaup6fw">added</a>.

But not everyone was lambasting Musk for his comments on the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Venture capitalist David Sacks was surprised that Musk was being attacked as being pro-Russian for "merely suggesting a possible peace deal" and giving Starlink to Ukraine.

"Shows how warped and intolerant the public conversation has become," Sacks <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/1577026873808207872?s=20&t=YBhjE83pM1wO3yIMBe48qQ">noted</a>.

In a reply to Sacks, Musk repeated what his companies have done for Ukraine.

"SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine," Musk tweeted. "Trying to retake Crimea will cause massive death, probably fail & risk nuclear war. This would be terrible for Ukraine & Earth."

<h2>Russia’s Annexation of Ukraine  </h2>
In recent developments in the military conflict, the Russian parliament is poised to pass a vote over treaties on annexation that will formally bring four regions— Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia—under Kremlin control.

Western leaders have dismissed the annexation vote as a "sham," while Ukraine forces are regaining other areas in the country, including the town of Lyman.

Ukraine has also submitted an emergency application to NATO, with Zelenskyy revealing that he is prepared for negotiations "with a different Russian president."

"We are taking our decisive step by signing Ukraine’s application for accelerated accession to NATO,” he said in a video posted to Telegram. “Ukraine is ready for negotiations, but with a different Russian president.”
