US billionaire Elon Musk was embroiled in a social media spat with Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Monday over his ideas on ending Russia's invasion.

Musk sparked the controversy on Twitter by proposing a peace deal involving re-running under UN supervision annexation referendums in Moscow-occupied Ukrainian regions, acknowledging Russian sovereignty over the Crimean peninsula and giving Ukraine a neutral status.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder created a poll to let his more than 107 million followers vote on the idea.
Zelenskyy responded with a Twitter poll of his own, asking: "Which @elonmusk do you like more?" with the options "One who supports Ukraine" and "One who supports Russia."
Musk later said Moscow could announce a full mobilization, leading to a "full war" where "death on both sides will be devastating" given Russia's far larger population.
"Victory for Ukraine is unlikely in total war. If you care about the people of Ukraine, seek peace," he wrote on Twitter.
