Zelensky’s Photoshoot with Wife Triggers Strong Criticism from Elon Musk

Tesla CEO and White House advisor Elon Musk has strongly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for participating in a photoshoot with his wife, Olena Zelenska. The photos were taken by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz. Musk expressed his anger over the photoshoot, questioning Zelensky’s priorities during an ongoing war.

“When a large number of soldiers and children are dying in the war, do you really think a photoshoot with your wife is appropriate?” Musk criticized. He further questioned Zelensky’s actions, implying that such activities were misplaced at a time of war.

Zelensky has previously faced criticism from leaders of the U.S. Republican Party. Some Republican politicians have alleged that while they support Ukraine from a humanitarian perspective, Zelensky treats them as if they are "fools." The Ukrainian leader’s approach has sparked fresh controversy, especially at a time when world leaders are discussing peace negotiations.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently called Zelensky a "dictator," criticizing him for not holding elections in Ukraine. Meanwhile, peace talks are reportedly taking place without direct involvement from Ukraine, a development that has caused frustration for Zelensky.
