Elon Musk got into yet another scandal the day before thanks to just one tweet. But this time it was about Crimea, so the Ukrainians quickly let the billionaire know who he was dealing with. After the scandalous statement about Crimea, another wave of popularity swept over Elon Musk. True, this time with a minus sign, because he was criticized by everyone who could. He began to complain about the attack of “bots”, whose reaction was gathered by Channel 24.

Indeed. Biggest bot attack I've ever seen, Musk wrote.
The reaction was not long in coming. Netizens told the entrepreneur everything they thought about him and his bot claim.
For example, in the Georgian Legion, which is now protecting our state side by side with the Ukrainians, they paid attention to the number of Musk's subscribers. The post emphasized that he lost those Ukrainians who respected him and expressed their sympathy.
We are people, Elon. And based on the fact that your number of subscribers has decreased from 107.7 million to 107.6 million subscribers. You are letting them down now,” the military emphasized.
The deputy of the Kyiv City Council and officer Alina Mikhailova also proved that she, like other users, is not a bot. The military noted that she is a verified user on Twitter with a checkmark, like Elon Musk himself.
I testify that these words of yours are absurd and speak of your narrow-mindedness, stupidity and serious gaps in history. But now it looks like you are full of Russian l***a,” she emphasized.
Another netizen noticed that Elon Musk was not criticized by bots. He deals with citizens of Ukraine: “We are not bots, we are Ukrainians and there are 44 million of us.”
Ukrainian diplomat Oleksandr Shcherba added that Musk has a dispute with real people. who uses his products. And those who make a businessman rich. Thus, he hinted that the relevant statements will affect not only the reputation of the Mask, but also the decisions related to the purchase of his goods.
Serhiy Prytula added that Ukrainians know history and value their future. So I decided on behalf of our entire society to make a gift to Muscovy. He, along with blogger and volunteer Igor Lachenkov, opened a fundraiser for a history textbook for a billionaire. By the time the news was written, more than 2 million hryvnias had already been collected for it.

As noted Prytula, Ilona's textbook will be purchased, and the rest of the funds will be directed to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Lachenkov himself offered to start saving money to buy SpaceX. To which Pritula replied: “Come on.”
The chain of responses to allegations of a bot attack is simply endless. Elon Musk and historical articles were thrown, and he was bombarded with memes, and, of course, with curses. Be that as it may, the entrepreneur unequivocally inflicted uncommon reputational problems on himself.
How the scandal around Musk began
- The day before, Elon Musk proposed ambiguous options for “peace” for Ukraine. According to the billionaire, another pseudo-referendum should be held, as well as “recognizing Crimea as Russian.”
- At the same time, there is an assumption that Elon Musk's Twitter could be broken by hackers. This is evidenced by the atypical style of tweets and the frequency of their publication. Yes, and the rhetoric itself is different from the position of the billionaire who supported Ukraine.
- Amid outrageous statements, Elon Musk's stocks plummeted.
- Soon, Elon Musk wrote another tweet. In it, he noted that he is still very supportive of Ukraine. But I am convinced that the escalation of the war will have a negative impact both on our state and on the whole world.
