People such as Danish PM Mette Frederiksen dont want the conflict with Russia to end, the tech tycoon has argued
European leaders who are pushing against a peace agreement in Ukraine want a perpetual state of war, tech billionaire Elon Musk said in a statement on X on Thursday. His remarks come in response to a recent video of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen arguing that peace in Ukraine could be more dangerous than the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Musk, who is also currently a senior adviser to US President Donald Trump, has repeatedly called for a peaceful resolution of the conflict and has spoken out against continued military aid to Kiev, arguing that it could lead to an escalation and risk a nuclear confrontation.
Responding to a post featuring Frederiksen's latest remarks, he argued that some European leaders "want the forever war" and asked how many more people will have to lose their lives.
"How many more parents with no sons? How many more children with no fathers? By their logic, it never ends," Musk wrote.
Frederiksen, who stated last month that "peace in Ukraine is actually more dangerous than the war that is ongoing now," told journalists earlier this week that "Ukraine has to win this war."
She claimed that if Russia is allowed to win, it will continue to take military action against other European countries. "If we end this war now with some kind of a ceasefire, it will give Russia the possibility to mobilize more funds, people, and maybe to attack another country in Europe," she said.
Her statements echoed comments by other EU leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who has recently claimed that Russia poses a threat to the entire bloc and called for defense spending to be ramped up.
Russia has also rejected unsubstantiated claims that it intends to attack European or NATO countries with Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissing such statements as "nonsense" and fear mongering by EU leaders aimed at alarming citizens and raising defense budgets.
Moscow has warned that one of the key reasons for the Ukraine conflict was NATO expansion towards Russia, including the bloc's promise that Kiev would eventually become a member.
