Tesla (TSLA) - CEO Elon Musk has never been afraid to face his opponents in public.
From his Silicon Valley peers such as Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft software giant (MSFT) - to President Joe Biden, the richest man in the world. It is one of the qualities of his more than 91.5 million Twitter followers.
While the Russian invasion of Ukraine begins in Feb. 24, a serial entrepreneur became the first CEO of an international company to support Ukraine. Musk not only openly chose Kyiv, but also sent terminals to Starlink, the satellite internet service of his aerospace company SpaceX, Ukraine. Starlink not only allows Ukrainian people to access private internet, the service allows the country to stay in touch with the outside world. Starlink is mainly used in Russian bombings and remote areas.
The service also assists the Ukrainian authorities in the war against Moscow. Musk also challenged President Putin to call for a ceasefire to end the war. As of May 6, more than 3,150 residents have been killed, and countless buildings have been shot down.
'If I die'
An estimated 5.8 million Ukrainians, or about 14% of the population, have become refugees after fleeing to neighboring countries.
Musk's support in Ukraine has led to criticism from some of Putin's most trusted allies. But criticism now seems to have become a threat to the life of a millionaire. The tech tycoon actually recently posted on its Twitter account a message from Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos.
"@Rogozin sent this to the Russian media," Musk wrote on Twitter on May 8. He then sent a screenshot of a Russian text that would be a message sent to Russian newspapers by Rogozin.
According to a translation, the document contained threats to Musk's life.
"Based on the testimony of the kidnapped personnel officer of the 36 Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, it follows that the ground-based registration equipment of the Starlink satellite company Elon Musk was handed over to Nazi soldiers. The Azov Battalion and Marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine flew to Mariupol with military helicopters, "wrote Rogozin.
According to our information, the delivery and transfer of boxes to the Ukrainian Armed Forces PO boxes to receive and transfer online from Starlink is done by Pentagon. "
He therefore concludes that "Elon Musk is thus involved in empowering the fascist power in Ukraine through military communications."
Then came the threats over the life of the CEO of Tesla.
"And for this you have to answer in the way of adults, Elon, no matter how you open a fool."
Back in 2014, Rogozin was the deputy prime minister. By then, Russia had begun its first entry into Ukraine, capturing Crimea.
Musk seems to take these threats seriously.
"If I die under mysterious circumstances, it would be good to know," said the millionaire. In a previous tweet, he wondered how Rogozin used the word 'nazi'.
"The word" Nazi "does not mean what he thinks he does," said the millionaire.
A few hours after these tweets, Musk posted another one where he promised to do everything to keep him alive.
"Sorry! I will do my best to stay alive," the star wrote.
'We Must Protect You at All Costs'
Grizler was unable to access Rogozin's Twitter account which is only accessible after approval. Grizler is unable to verify the text containing the threats and therefore relies on Musk's post.
This is not the first time Rogozin has attacked Musk, but it is the first time he has made threats to millions. Rogozin has already taken it out on Musk after raising the idea of a deadly war between him and Putin.
Threats against Musk come on the night before 9 May. The day, which celebrates when the Soviet Union declared its victory over Nazi Germany in 1945, has become known as "Victory Day" in Russia and in most of the post-Soviet territories.
