| | Researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia published a landmark paper on August 20, 2022 on the activities of bot accounts on Twitter related to the conflict in Ukraine. The Australian findings were staggering – of 5.2 million tweets on the [[social media]] network from February 23 to March 8, 2022 at the outbreak of the conflict, between 60 to 80% were shared by fake accounts.<ref>https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.07038.pdf</ref> | | Researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia published a landmark paper on August 20, 2022 on the activities of bot accounts on Twitter related to the conflict in Ukraine.

| − | Elon Musk offered the services of his '''Starlink''' to the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] for free. In October 2022 Musk posted a peace proposal on Twitter that read:
| |
| − | {{quotebox-float|Ukraine-Russia Peace:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - Redo [[election]]s of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - [[Crimea]] formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until [[Khrushchev]]’s mistake).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - Water supply to Crimea assured.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - Ukraine remains neutral.}}

| − | Ukrainian Ambassador [[Andrij Melnyk]] responded:

| − | [[File:Musk barlett.jpg|right|500px|thumb|Wikipedia Ukronazibots slander Eva K Bartlett after she alerted Musk to the existence of the Ukrainian Nazi kill list.]]

| − | {{quotebox-float|No Ukrainian will EVER buy your f***ing tesla crap. F*** off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk}}
| |
| − | Musk then announced it was costing him $20 million a month to provide the Starlink service and cut it off, saying either [[NATO]], the [[Pentagon]], or [[Zelensky regime]] should pick up the cost. Musk was immediately added to the [[Ukrainian Nazi]] [[Myrotvorets|kill list]]. However, Musk's aerospace deals with the Pentagon are quite lucrative, the service was restored, and his name removed from the kill list.

| | | | |
| − | Musk evidentially wasn't aware of the kill list until Canadian journalist [[Eva K Bartlett]] alerted him to it via Twitter, and Musk asked her for a url. [[Wikipedia]] Ukrinazibots immediately set upon Bartlett. Bartlett had been reporting on the kill list since 2019, when her name was added. Bartlett said in September 2022, "Returning to the issue of [[Myrotvorets]] [the so-called "Peacemaker" kill list), it’s absolutely appalling that a database like this exists, openly calling for the murders of people like myself, yourselves, 327 children, simply because we are speaking about [[Ukraine]]’s [[war crimes]] and we’re speaking about the [[corruption]] within Ukraine. This list presents a very real threat to Ukrainians themselves, not only to [[journalist]]s and to people who are speaking out, but to Ukrainians within Ukraine proper. Many of these Ukrainians have already been disappeared or killed."<ref>https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/elon-and-the-nazis</ref>
