Mr. Musk audaciously started a Twitter poll to gauge how many of his followers agreed with him, which stands at 40.2% of them at the time of publication. Almost 60% of his Twitter audience voted againts Musks’s statement that Ukraine should surrender the occupied territory and remain neutral.

The extravagant suggestion didn’t go unnoticed or untouched.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky himself replied, coming up with the idea of asking the public which version of Elon Musk they prefer, “One who suports Ukraine”, or “One who supports Russia”. With the vote ongoing, results indicate that 4 out of 5 voters do no approve Russia-defending Musk.
