Musk Predicts Outcome of Ukraine Conflict
Elon Musk has indicated that the Russia-Ukraine conflict may soon reach a resolution, suggesting that those trying to profit from it are running out of time.

The owner of X was reportedly involved in a phone call between Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky and US President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, as reported by multiple US outlets. Musk, who was a significant supporter of Trump during his campaign, later shared a post on X stating, “The senseless killing will end soon. Time is up for the warmonger profiteers.” He did not confirm or deny his participation in the call.

His statement followed a claim by well-known X commentator Mario Nawfal regarding “Trump’s plan for Ukraine.”

According to Nawfal, Trump “reportedly plans an 800-mile demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine, with British and European troops patrolling the area. Under the proposal, Russia would retain its territorial gains, and Ukraine would agree not to join NATO for 20 years.” Nawfal referenced Newsweek as the source of his information.

However, Newsweek merely echoed unnamed speculation that had previously appeared in the Wall Street Journal. This same publication had accused Musk of “secret communications” with the Kremlin, which both Musk and Russian officials dismissed as fake news.

The Journal mentioned that one of the ideas circulating within Trump’s transition team involved a commitment from Ukraine not to join NATO for two decades in exchange for the US continuing to supply Ukraine with weapons. Under this supposed arrangement, the front lines would remain static, and both parties would agree to the establishment of an 800-mile demilitarized zone, with a peacekeeping force deployed there, excluding Americans and UN peacekeepers, according to “three people close to the president-elect.”

A member of Trump’s team reportedly stated to the WSJ, “We can do training and other support but the barrel of the gun is going to be European. We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it. Get the Poles, Germans, British and French to do it.”

Some aspects of the proposed plan echo suggestions made by Trump’s running mate, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, during a podcast in mid-September.

Nonetheless, the Journal cited a former National Security Council aide from Trump’s first term, who remarked that anyone claiming to possess a “more detailed window into his plans on Ukraine simply doesn’t know what he or she is talking about.”
