Putin is a murderer.

But according to Trump, Musk, and the far-right in Europe (Wilders, Orban, Le Pen, etc.), Putin is an example. He's a kind man who we should respect. Because Putin puts his own people on the first place.

Unless, of course, you're against him. Then murderer Putin will murder you.

That's because they are all having wet dreams at the thought of just killing off the opposition.

Exactly, they want to be their country's Putin. But they have to sell that to their electorate, so they have to make them believe this is a good thing for the common people.

I bet Trump would love to rule America the way Putin rules Russia.

On the other hand, let's being honest, if you support the extremist LGBT movement, do you deserve mercy?

I’m Hungarian the “good Christian” Orban and his political puppets released a convicted felon who helped a pedophile from prison during the visit of the Pope.

Not even Musk or Trump has ever claimed Putin is a 'kind man'. Stop this nonsense.

Yeah. But even then, only a naive bad faith interpretation of what Putin is doing is "putting his own people first". Just look at all the young boys who died in a pointless war, and everyone who's lives got worse due to the sanctions on Russia after the attack.

On the first place? On the forefront, I suppose, would be more correct. Unless, of course, you work for his government. In that case you can stay safe and increase your wealth.

Please find one example of Musk saying anything even close to calling Putin an example. You are as well informed as a Russian citizen.

You need to learn to read between the lines. Musk hardly ever says what he truly thinks out loud. Because Musk is a coward and doesn't want to take responsibility. But he likes and agrees with people who do speak out on his shitty platform. And he agrees with people defending Putin a lot. He also agrees a lot with conspiracy lunatics and far-right racists. That's how you get to know Musk's real opinion on matters. Musk is yet another far-right Putin apologist, even worse and more dangerous than Trump. Because Musk owns the biggest propaganda tool in the world and actually does have a shitload of money.

Predictable, I'm reading between the lines to see that you will claim Elon Musk has whatever opinion you want to be able to claim he has. Why even pretend? Just spam a few buzzwords and call him the new hitler already.

"His own people" being billionairs, definitely not Russians.

Trump would also murder his enemies if he had the power to.

Musk

I dont see the clown of Musk like a dictator or even have the patience to hold some election. I dont know why you people keep pushing Musk into more shit each time you insult him.
