Elon Musk has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the murder of an American journalist. The billionaire who is also a senior adviser to the US President Donald Trump made this claim while replying to a clip from an interview of Tucker Carlson and Robert Amsterdam that was shared on social media platform X (earlier Twitter). Musk’s claims were in response to reports claiming that Chilean-American journalist Gonzalo Lira was killed in Ukraine last year for allegedly being critical of Zelensky.
The post accuses Zelensky of multiple crimes. It reads: “Tucker Carlson and Bob Amsterdam reveal the truth about The Zelensky Government in Ukraine
- Zelensky jails or sanctions or charges with treason his opponents
- He's destroyed a free media
- He sends his secret police to churches, “A lot of people have been killed”
- He’s “beaten our priests, beaten our parishioners, and I have this all on video”
- Zelensky’s Secret Police wear death masks with Nazi insignias on their arm
- He's destroyed civil society
‘They've committed a lot of violence. A lot of people have been killed. Non-combatants have been killed by the Zelensky government’”
Replying to this, Musk said: “Zelensky should not have murdered an American journalist. He didn’t even understand why that was bad.”
This comes after Trump described the Ukrainian leader as a “dictator without elections” and warned that he “better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.”
