In that post Rogozin accused Musk of being “involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment”.
“And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult – no matter how much you’ll play the fool” he concluded.
The communication also claimed that the equipment was delivered in Ukraine by the Pentagon.
The posts sparked speculation on whether Musk might be facing threats from Russia for helping Ukraine amid the war.
Yahoo reports: Six minutes later, Mr Musk shared the tweet about dying in mysterious circumstances.
Maye Musk, Elon’s mother, responded to his tweet, quoting it and writing “that’s not funny”, alongside two angry emojis.
“Sorry!” Mr Musk wrote in reply. “I will do my best to stay alive.”
He also liked a tweet by Pranay Pathole, an Indian engineer who regularly responds to Mr Musk’s tweets, in which he appeared to express concern for Mr Musk’s safety.
“Elon & his ventures are the reason I wake up every morning filled with hope, optimism, joy, & excitement that humanity has a better future with Elon around,” Mr Pathole wrote. “I’m sure I’m not the only one to wake up with that optimism.
“Take care, Elon. Stay safe. The world needs you.”
Elon Musk and Dmitry Rogozin have sparred throughout the war in Ukraine. They have traded sometimes traded bellicose and often mocking messages about the space industry and Starlink – as well as the war generally, given their status as two of their country’s biggest tweeters.

If musk is helping the Ukraine, then you know he is our enemy also.
The question is – how reliable is this Ukrainian colonel’s information? I don’t think Musk is a white hat but who knows what
he’s really been up to, he was on the left until last week, according to his tweet.
Prince salman is worth almost 20 times Elon at 2 trillion dollars. Elons wealth is estimated by people who don’t have his books, dont really know his debts or liabilities.They just make it up, like most things.
Surely he has security? But after Salman who owns about a quarter of twitter and agreed to let him buy , which is all very vague, the details aren’t simple, and apparently we aren’t being told the whole story As usual, then the yanks turned.
As usual.
Now with Prince salman on his side rhe UK Parliament are screwed especially since, as I’ve ALWAYS called him, boo boo Johnson really stuffed everything up and gone and totally lost the while of Wales, Ireland and 100s of seats including all the blue ribbon tory seats, even Westminster itself that they’ve held since 1964.
There s no confidence in Boo boo down in yellows tone Park
So Musk needn’t worry anyway They won’t turn Salman into a fury.
