Elon Musk labels Zelensky a dictator while planning changes to X's Community Notes

independent.co.uk

Elon Musk has echoed claims from the Kremlin, labeling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator." This follows a dispute involving the Trump administration, which has made similar assertions about Zelensky's popularity and governance. Musk plans to modify X's Community Notes feature, alleging that it is manipulated by governments and media. His comments come after a post questioned a poll showing Zelensky's high approval ratings, which Musk dismissed as unreliable. International leaders and experts have countered Musk and Trump's claims, asserting that Zelensky was democratically elected and enjoys majority support in Ukraine. They argue that such statements undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and play into Russian propaganda.
