Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) feuded with billionaire Elon Musk over the SpaceX CEO’s proposed solution to ending the war in Ukraine in a Twitter thread on Wednesday.
Musk asked his more than 100 million followers on Monday to weigh in on his peace proposal, which includes giving the Crimean Peninsula to Russia and holding new elections in four illegally annexed regions. Ukrainian officials have loudly rejected the idea.
Graham, while acknowledging his “respect” for Musk, shot back on Wednesday that his solution is “dumb” and the world’s richest man needs to “understand the facts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.”

In 1994, through the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons arsenal — the third largest in the world — in return for assurances their territorial integrity would be protected.

It was an agreement signed by Russia that included protecting Crimea and the Donbas as part of Ukraine.
If you want peace in Ukraine — which we ALL do — simply demand Russian honor the boundaries they agreed to in 1994 and withdraw their forces.

To do otherwise is to legitimize a bait and switch by Russia and a signal to other bad actors to take what you want – by force!
If Elon Musk and others want the world to continue to be in chaos, then by all means capitulate to Putin and reward his aggression.

While we’re at it, maybe the Congress should revisit the electric vehicle tax credit boondoggle.
It is where the credit is now solely benefiting electric vehicle manufacturers who have increased prices equal to the tax credit!
