Ukrainians raised ₴1 million in 20 minutes for a history book for Elon Musk after billionaire's scandalous publications on Twitter
On October 3, Elon Musk stirred up the Ukrainian public with several posts on Twitter regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war. As a result, Ukrainians started fundraising for a history textbook for the American billionaire.
Here's What We Know
Elon Musk published four points that, according to the businessman, can end the war:
- New elections in the annexed territories under U.N. supervision;
- Crimea remaining part of Russia;
- Provision of water to Crimea;
- Ukraine remaining neutral (probably talking about not joining NATO).
Well, then the USA have to return back under the British crown as it was before 1776, return Texas and Nevada to Mexico as it was before 1845 or even more - all white people who colonized America, have to get back to Europe and leave America for Indians.⬇️

As of this writing, 63.2% of 1.6 million users disagreed with the American billionaire. President Zelensky also responded to Elon Musk's post.

In addition to Zelensky, many famous Ukrainians reacted to Musk's poll. For example, the permanent representative to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya...
Next time I need a plumber I call @elonmusk He doesn't do plumbing?! Then what the fuck's the matter, why does he speak of international relations and international law? Btw a good plumber is better than Musk's secondhand opinions on illegally occupied territories of a foreign nation https://t.co/iuEprQUmI4

... and former President Petro Poroshenko.
It's certainly sad that russian propaganda works even on the brightest minds... @elonmusk

Later Musk added that the war in Ukraine could turn into a nuclear war, although the probability of such an outcome is small. Also, the head of Tesla published a manipulative poll on whether the residents of Crimea and Donbass should decide for themselves what country to stay as part of. Paul Massaro, senior policy advisor to the U.S. Helsinki Commission, offered his version.
Let's try this then: Russia leaves Ukraine immediately, pays reparations, decolonizes, demilitarizes, and denuclearizes.

In addition, Elon Musk reminded that Russia is mobilizing, stressing that there are three times more people living in Russia than in Ukraine. But the National Guard of Ukraine reacted to this tweet.

Ukrainian volunteers Serhiy Prytula and Ihor Lachenkov, who raised $20 million in a few days over the summer for three Bayraktar TB2, decided to open a collection for a history book for Elon Musk. In 20 minutes, Ukrainians transferred ₴1 million ($27,000) to Monobank. As of this writing, more than ₴1.7 million ($46,000) has been raised. It should be noted that almost all funds, except for the cost of the textbook, will go to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
