Renowned American billionaire and CEO of companies like SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, recently expressed his opinion on the idea of invading Russia. In a post on social media, Musk stated, “Just don’t invade Russia. It has never been a good idea.” He accompanied his message with a laughing emoji.
Musk’s comment was in response to a joke about the intelligence of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who faced defeat in Russia and had to flee. The American armed forces had intervened in Russia during the Civil War, with around 5,000 American soldiers stationed in the North and nearly 8,000 in the Far East. Although they did not engage in direct combat, they opposed the Red Partisans and carried out executions of those who were unhappy with the intervention, which only fueled support for the Bolsheviks, who promised to expel the interventionists.
After the defeat of Russian Army General Alexander Kolchak, the American forces were withdrawn from Russia.
Prior to this, Elon Musk, the American billionaire and owner of the social media platform X, as well as the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, had stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces should have transitioned to a defensive strategy, but pressure from Western countries forced them to launch a counteroffensive.
Earlier, Musk had demanded an explanation from President Zelensky regarding the arrest of an American citizen.
