Prytula trolled Elon Musk and opened a fundraiser for history books for the inventor
The famous Ukrainian showman and volunteer Serhiy Prytula reacted with sarcasm to the scandalous statements of Elon Musk.
Host Serhiy Prytula trolled the American billionaire and inventor Elon Musk, who embarrassed society with a scandalous statement about peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. He proposed holding a «repeat vote» in the Ukrainian territories illegally captured by Russia.
On his Twitter, the volunteer suggested that Musk probably does not know history very well.
«Elon, it seems that you have missed many history lessons by focusing on space and electric cars. Your proposals are similar to Putin’s,» Prytula noted.
So the volunteer decided to help Musk become more knowledgeable and offered Ukrainians to buy a history textbook for the inventor. For this purpose, Prytula opened a charity fundraiser. The presenter will spend all the remaining money on the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
We, the Ukrainians, know the history and value our future. We want to make a gift for @elonmusk. So together with with @igorlachenkov we’ve opened a fundraiser for a history textbook.
