Attempting to end the long running Russia/Ukraine conflict US President Donald Trump has told Vladimir Putin to shoot Elon Musk at their war-torn neighbour.

But Musk, who was fired at Kyiv early this morning and died instantly upon impact with a church wall, is said to have done little damage.

In a statement, Trump said, “I really thought that would work. You’d think anyone who saw Elon hurtling towards them would immediately give up and hand over their country to him. I did.”

Reports suggest Trump is now considering having himself dropped on Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
