(Natural News)—Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has once again stirred controversy with his candid remarks about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In a recent post on X, Musk referred to Zelensky as the “all-time champ” of securing financial aid, a comment that has sparked debate amid President Biden’s latest $2.47 billion military aid package to Ukraine. Musk’s critique highlights growing concerns about the transparency and accountability of U.S. aid to Ukraine, as well as the Biden administration’s relentless push to send billions of dollars overseas in its final days in office.
Musk’s assertion that Zelensky is unparalleled in convincing the U.S. to open its coffers is not without merit. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Biden administration has approved billions of dollars in aid to Kiev, including military, economic, and humanitarian assistance. Zelensky’s impassioned appeals to Western leaders, coupled with his skillful use of media and diplomacy, have made him a central figure in rallying international support. However, critics like Musk argue that this generosity has come at the expense of American taxpayers, with little oversight into how these funds are being used.
The latest aid package, announced on December 30, includes $1.25 billion in weapons drawn from U.S. stockpiles under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) and an additional $1.22 billion through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). The PDA package focuses on immediate battlefield needs, providing Ukraine with air defense missiles, artillery ammunition, and anti-tank weapons. Meanwhile, the USAI funds will be used to procure advanced systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and air-to-ground munitions from defense contractors.
This brings the total U.S. military aid to Ukraine under the Biden administration to over $66 billion, a staggering figure that has drawn bipartisan criticism. Utah Senator Mike Lee has called the aid “money laundering,” echoing concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability in how these funds are allocated.
Biden’s last-minute push for Ukraine
The timing of this latest aid package has raised eyebrows, coming just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office. The Biden administration has been scrambling to allocate remaining funds before its authority expires, with the USAI account now completely emptied. This raises questions about the administration’s priorities, especially as the U.S. national debt surpasses $36 trillion and domestic issues like inflation and border security remain unresolved.
Critics argue that Biden’s unwavering support for Ukraine has come at the expense of American interests. While the administration claims that aiding Ukraine is essential to counter Russian aggression, skeptics like Musk contend that the conflict cannot be resolved militarily and that a negotiated settlement is the only viable path to peace. Musk has long advocated for greater oversight of U.S. aid to Ukraine, urging Kiev to provide a detailed accounting of how these resources are being used.
Biden’s lack of accountability
Musk’s comments underscore a broader debate about the role of the U.S. in the Ukraine conflict. While supporting a sovereign nation’s right to defend itself is commendable, the sheer scale of American assistance demands greater scrutiny. The Biden administration’s decision to send billions in aid during its final days in office, without a clear strategy for ending the conflict, has only fueled skepticism.
As the U.S. continues to pour resources into Ukraine, it is imperative to ensure that these funds are being used effectively and that American interests are not being sidelined. Musk’s critique serves as a reminder that while Zelensky may indeed be a master at securing aid, the U.S. must prioritize accountability and fiscal responsibility in its foreign policy decisions.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef.
