On April 4, 2024, he was killed, likely during a Russian offensive near Bakhmut, however, his burial in the U.S. did not take place until December 2024, Important Stories reports.

What a fuckin weird story, it makes it sound like he was a peace loving hippie who wanted to make the world a better place, then smoked one bong hit too hard and ended up doing a complete 180, joining the fascist fuckheads and died making the world worse off
Unless he visited Russia (stupidly, not the first to do so nor the last), they figured out who his parents were and forced him on the front line somehow? blackmail?
This definitely the most odd story I’ve read so far
I know too many peace loving hippies that turned to vote far right after covid.
I blame internal issues but mainly foreign disinformation campaigns.
My theory is that people who mix psychedelics with social media end up deep in the far-right propaganda engine.
Not that Elon was ever a good guy, but we can plainly see what Ketamine + Twitter does to a person.
Na that fucker was an apartheid fascist the moment he was born if you look at his family. But that doesn’t diminish your point of drugs and social media making it worse
You know that somebody is total shit when I say “he was never good”, and the pushback is that my words weren’t strong enough lol.
Very true the shit he did to USAID just because they were investigating him for his meddling in the Ukraine war with starlink is unforgivable. Corruption at its peak.
His own kids have shown that you don’t have to be like your shitty family/ancestors. Elon chose to be a fascist.

I know someone in this boat. Was trying K as a therapeutic, doctor-monitored, etc. for severe anxiety and depression. As far as I know he never abused it… but he also ended up deeper in the Twitter hole afterwards. The neuroplasticity is a double edged sword, it seems.
We are no longer on speaking terms after he tripled-down on being a bigot.
Either something doesn’t add up in this story or this guy was stupid beyond belief.
I think I know the answer to this one. Hope his parents are proud of their dead moron.

He fucked around and found out.
Seems like a massive conflict of interest.
It sound like he was trying to get Russian citizenship through military service. Then they sent him to Bakhmut to die with 100,000 other recruits. Number made up, but probably not that far off.
I believe Bakhmut saw Russian deaths of over 50,000.
Thank you for the info!
Good. Death to all traitors.
Wait, what? He hates fascism, so he went to Russia… 🤨 He must be another idiot/tankie who can’t look in the mirror, almost all of Russia is like that, they are fascists themselves, they see nazis and fascists everywhere, but not in the mirror.
What a read.
My bet is he got hooked on life wrecking tier drugs and got lured into service by the Russian authorities with the promise of more drugs.
His 180 came way too fast for a simple change of heart.
When tankies tank too hard
How to tell me without telling me this was a campist.
So? Wars are deadly. Don’t start them, don’t go there.
That’s fucked up. It sounds exactly like he smoked one bong hit too many and went on his own Qanon trip.
lmao
