Meanwhile, another Twitter user urged Musk to “confess” that there is a “great creator of this world” before he dies.
The billionaire responded, “Thank you for the blessing, but I’m ok with going to hell, if that is indeed my destination, since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there.”

Musk also tweeted on Sunday night a statement from Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia’s space agency.
It read, “From the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, it turns out that the internet terminals of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the Nazi Azov Battalion and the Ukrainian Marines in Mariupol by military helicopters.”
“According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink equipment was carried out by the Pentagon. Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment,” it continued.
Rogozin added, “And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult — no matter how much you’ll play the fool.”

Rogozin’s statement refers to Musk’s Starlink network, made up of roughly 2,000 satellites, that is designed to provide high-speed internet.
As CNBC notes, “There are more than 10,000 Starlink terminals — also known as dishes or antenna — providing service to Ukraine.”
The Washington Post explains that the Azov Battalion is the “most controversial” of Ukraine’s fighting forces because of its “far-right nationalist ideology.”
Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine claiming one of its goals was the “denazification” of the country. However, there is not evidence that there is widespread support of such ideology in the country, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish.”
