Kiev Doesn't Accept Ukraine War No Longer Trending on Twitter

detakom.blogspot.com -KIEV  - Kiev is nervous because the Ukrainian war seems to disappear from trends on Twitter. Twitter's new CEO, Elon Musk, has often weighed in on the Ukraine conflict, urging the public in October to support a peace initiative that could end the "sea of ​​fire." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser, Mikhail Podolyak, blasted Twitter over reports of a "radical curtailment of tweets" on developments in Ukraine.

Podolyak used his own account to rant about the fact that users are ostensibly not allowed to register or log in with Ukrainian phone numbers. He also "poked" the newly minted Twitter CEO Elon Musk. "I wonder if we'll ever see 'Twitter Files' about Fall/Winter 2022?" he said as quoted from Sputnik, Thursday (15/12/2022)

This is a dig at the so-called "Twitter Files" - a collection of data that the tech billionaire provided to a group of journalists. Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss and Michael Shellenberger then went on to publish the data based on internal Twitter communications in a collection of threads on the platform, highlighting content moderation decisions made before Musk purchased the microblogging site. Elon Musk, who finalized his deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion on October 28, noted that he bought it to "help humanity" and provide a platform for healthy debate, free from violence.

The Kiev regime has long had problems with Musk over his highly publicized remarks on the Ukraine conflict. Back in March, the CEO and chief engineer of SpaceX insisted that his company's Starlink project, designed to provide high-speed broadband Internet worldwide via thousands of satellites, would not block Russian news sources.

At that time, Starlink had shipped Internet terminals to Ukraine amid Russia's decision to start special operations in the country. Several governments have asked Starlink to block Russian news sources, but Musk said: "We're not going to do it except at 'gunpoint,' sorry to be a free speech absolutist." The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla also gave his views on how to end the crisis between Russia and Ukraine. “Repeat elections of areas that were annexed under UN supervision. Russia is leaving if it is the will of the people.

Crimea was officially part of Russia, dating back to 1783 (up to Khrushchev's mistake). Water supply to Crimea is guaranteed. Ukraine remains neutral,” the billionaire tweeted.

The South African-born billionaire also included a poll in his original post, with more than 447,000 followers voting on this post. Margins were split 46 percent "yes" to 53 percent "no" on Musk's proposal. Crimea joined Russia following a referendum in March 2014 in which a majority of the population voted in the same way to do so.

Recently, the Kherson and Zaporozhian regions held a vote on September 23-27 to decide whether they want to join Russia. Together with the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic, after the people showed overwhelming support for the movement, the region became part of the Russian Federation. In September, media reported that SpaceX had informed the US Department of Defense that it could not donate its services to Ukraine indefinitely and asked the US government to step in and fund it. Musk later confirmed these reports, saying that the company was unable to proceed with funding Starlink's satellite service for Ukraine. In early October, Musk also urged the public to support peace initiatives between Ukraine and Russia, insisting that a Ukrainian victory in "total war" was "impossible", with his remarks drawing criticism from senior Ukrainian officials, including Volodymyr Zelensky. However, the richest man in the world then reversed the issue.

Elon Musk also claimed in October that he was doing everything he could to defuse the situation in Ukraine, but without much success. "I tried my hardest to defuse this situation and have clearly failed," Musk said in a post on social media, in response to comments made by another entrepreneur, Kim Dotcom.
