SpaceX founder Elon Musk has sent a letter to the Pentagon saying the aerospace giant can no longer continue to fund the Starlink satellite internet service in Ukraine the same way it has been doing.

The proposal included redoing elections of annexed regions under UN supervision, making Crimea formally part of Russia, assuring the water supply to Crimea and Ukraine remaining neutral. About 59% of respondents voted no, while 40.9% of respondents voted yes.

Musk said that such a scenario was "highly likely" to be the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war, noting it was "just a question of how many die before then." He also argued that nuclear war was "a possible, albeit unlikely, outcome" of the conflict. Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued his own Twitter poll asking "which @elonmusk do you like more?" with the options including one who supports Ukraine and one who supports Russia.

Musk responded to the poll, writing, "I still very much support Ukraine, but am convinced that massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and possibly the world." Meanwhile, Ukrainian ambassador to Germany Andrij Melnyk responded to Musk's poll, tweeting, "F--- off is my very diplomatic response to you."

"The only outcome is that now no Ukrainian will EVER buy your f…ing Tesla crap," he added in a separate tweet. "So good luck to you."
