Musk Accuses Ukrainian and US Officials of Corruption

rbc.ua (Russian) —

Elon Musk accused Ukrainian elites of enriching themselves through international aid and alleged that US politicians are using Ukraine assistance to fund political campaigns. Musk claimed there is a "huge difference in incentives between elites and the people" in Ukraine, stating elites profit from billions in aid while ordinary citizens' children are sent to the front lines. He also alleged that some US taxpayer funds return to America through money-laundering schemes. The billionaire suggested this explains why some American politicians care more about Ukraine than about their own citizens. His statements echo previous criticisms of Ukraine's wartime leadership and Western military aid.
