Elon Musk tried his hand at some armchair diplomacy by proposing a compromise that would end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He only sparked outrage among Twitter users who did not take too kindly to suggestions that Kyiv should give up territory to the Kremlin. The Tesla CEO posted a “Yes, No” survey on his Twitter feed which included his own ideas for how to end the impasse in Eastern Europe, which has dragged on for some six months and has destabilized oil markets. Musk called for a “redo” of “elections of annexed regions under UN supervision.” “Russia leaves if that is [the] will of the people,” the world’s richest man tweeted. “F— off is my very diplomatic reply,” tweeted Ukrainian diplomat Andrij Melnyk.
