Could you at least summarise? Fox News and The Sun are not exactly high quality sources.

It's Musk tweeting a silly response to to a typically silly blustering statement from Rogozin. Somehow Fox's byline suggests it might be due to a threat from the Clintons.

'War Criminal' Eric Berger also joins in the Twitter thread. He is also ok.

Both articles are mostly speculation about what threat Musk is referring to in his tweet. The tweet is quoted exactly what Musk sent out. You can speculate too about what he's meaning. And it has become painfully obvious in recent years that there are no longer any high quality major news sources. All seem to have a strong political agenda.

The boss of Roscosmos claimed that Starlink we delivered to Ukrainians by U.S. military helicopters so Musk is in league with the U.S. military and should pay the price.

The response from Musk was a little “tongue in cheek” as they say.

The original post states that Elon "will be held accountable" for supporting the Ukrainians. Elon read it, as a life treat (it is a war, after all) and responded accordingly. So simple.

Rogozin accused Musk of supporting Nazism, per Russian propaganda that claims the Ukrainian resistance are Nazis (there is a repeated claim that the Azov battalion are right-wing Nazi sympathizers.)

Musk responded with an Inigo Montoya-style tweet about Rogozin not knowing what what the word means. The riff on Musk himself dying was an ironic joke on how Putin's government has been systematically murdering its opponents (eg. the polonium murders, and recently possibly the many deaths of the Gazprom executives.)

From what I have read, there were approximately 900 NAZI's in Ukraine. 900 out of 40 something million. We probably have that many percentage wise of NAZI's, skinheads, KKK, etc, in the US. That doesn't make us a NAZI country. Anyway, Putin and the Russians are making threats all over the map, like they could destroy western Europe in 30 minutes with nukes. We in the west should be on our guard, and Musk should also. The kid who is posting all the flights of Musk's jet should no do so for Musk's safety. He is a national treasure and should have some type of security. I would like to see us get to Mars in my lifetime and see a colony start, and I am 68.

Putin was KGB, he has been known to have people murdered.
