American billionaire Elon Musk has once again accused Ukraine's elites of enriching themselves and described Western aid to Ukraine as a money-laundering scheme for American politicians.
In his X post, the businessman claimed there was a "massive incentive difference between the elites and the people" in Ukraine.
In his view, the former are allegedly getting rich from international aid, while the children of ordinary citizens are being sent to the front lines.
"The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter's children are conscripted to die in trenches," Musk wrote.
The billionaire also alleged a fraudulent scheme involving US aid.
He claimed that some US taxpayer money supposedly flows back to America through "multiple laundry machines" to fund political campaigns.
As a result, Musk argued, some American politicians allegedly care more about Ukraine than their own people.
Notably, billionaire Elon Musk personally ordered restrictions on Ukraine's access to the military version of the Starlink system, raising concerns in Kyiv and creating uncertainty within the US administration.
Later, members of the US Congress said that if the information were confirmed, an official investigation would be necessary, as such actions could violate the law.
