Elon Musk

Elon Musk is a vatnik and a wumao. Also known as “Elondimir Muskov”.

“Elondimir Muskov”

The vatnik

• Does Musk need Ukrainian lithium? Personal motive noticed in the businessman’s “peace plan”

“Khrushchev’s mistake”.

It is a bit odd when a US-based tech bro uses a phrase exclusively used within Kremlin propaganda.

Reminds me of 2000s era Kremlin trolls when they would just rant about super specific Russian policy interests in language no ordinary person would use.

“ошибка Хрущева” (Khrushchev’s mistake) is almost completely domestic, Russian language term in reference to Crimea, born from Stalinist Khrushchev’s oposition and Kremlin start using this domestically after 2014 to justify occupation of Crimea.
