Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has slammed SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for his insane Twitter poll asking users to vote on the outcome of the Ukraine war.
Taking to Twitter, the Tesla CEO put it to his users over what he believed the expected outcome of the Ukraine war would be, offering users the chance to vote in a poll on whether they agreed.
Musk's highly controversial tweet saw more than 2.2million people vote in the poll, with 60.6% disagreeing with the 51-year-old at time of writing, and a response from Ukrainian president Zelenskyy.

His poll included bullet points including "Ukraine remains neutral" and making "Crimea formally part of Russia", as well as "redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision".
Musk followed up his specific series of bullet points by adding: "This is highly likely to be the outcome in the end – just a question of how many die before then.
"Also worth noting that a possible, albeit unlikely, outcome from this conflict is nuclear war."
But President Zelenskyy, as well as several other Ukrainian officials and outlets, did not take kindly to Musk's prediction poll.
The outgoing Ukrainian ambassador to Germany bluntly put: "F*** off is my very diplomatic reply to you."

President Zelenskyy took a more targeted approach, creating a poll of his own and tagging Musk in the initial tweet, which asked: "Which @elonmusk do you like more?".
Pollsters were left with two choices in the presidential poll, "one who supports Ukraine" or "one who supports Russia".
Expectedly, the poll leaned heavily in favour of "one who supports Ukraine", the option that received 81% of the 1.7million-strong vote.
Musk did reply, however, saying: "I still very much support Ukraine, but am convinced that massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and possibly the world."
