Elon Musk: “We should [have] some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes.”

Not once has Elon Musk reached the conclusion that Putin should stop sending Russian soldiers to die in Ukraine. Instead he wants Ukraine to stop resisting, because can’t you see, the poor Russian soldiers are dying.

Imagine if Russia invaded the US west coast, and Elon said, “We should have sympathy”  for the invaders.
