Trump's close aide Elon Musk mocks Zelenskyy with 'tram' meme following White House spat

| @indiablooms | Mar 02, 2025, at 11:25 pm

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk shared a meme on X to mock Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following his fiery verbal spat with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during their meeting in the White House last week.

In his meme, Elon Musk, a close aide of Trump, said that Zelenskyy could end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war but refuses to do so since he wanted security guarantees.

The meme showed a man standing close to a controller of a tram that was close to running over people.

Referring to the Ukrainian President, Musk, Tesla chief, said: "You can stop the tram at any moment, but you refuse because you need guarantees that it won’t start moving again in a few years.”

In the comment section, people could be seen either supporting Ukraine or even backing Musk.

Fiery Friday

According to video footage of the press appearance going viral, Zelenskyy was caught in a verbal spat with Trump and US Vice President JD Vance.

While Vance accused Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful", Trump said he is "gambling with World War Three".

President Zelenskyy responded in equal measure, saying, "We are in our own country, and we have stayed strong all this time. We have even thanked you for it (your support)".

While Zelenskyy left the meeting after the heated exchange, Trump said the Ukraine president can come back to the White House “when he is ready for peace.”

Zelenskyy In UK

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed Volodymyr Zelenskyy in London, a day after the Ukrainian leader clashed with US President Donald Trump in Washington DC.

Ahead of Sunday's summit in London to discuss ways to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, Starmer reiterated his support for Kyiv.

"In partnership with our allies, we must intensify our preparations for the European element of security guarantees alongside continued discussions with the United States," he said in a statement issued late Saturday.

"Now is the time for us to unite in order to guarantee the best outcome for Ukraine, protect European security, and secure our collective future," he added.

Hours earlier, Ukraine and the UK announced a $2.84 billion loan agreement to support Kyiv's defence capabilities, to be paid back with the profits of immobilised sovereign Russian assets.

"The funds will be directed toward weapons production in Ukraine," Zelenskyy said on X.

"During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position, and ending the war with a just peace, along with robust security guarantees," he wrote on X.
