In response to a Twitter user's query seeking Elon Musk's opinion on the possibility of a nuclear war and World War III, the tech billionaire said that Russia has been sanctioned by the world in every possible manner.

"If Russia is faced with the choice of losing Crimea or using battlefield nukes, they will choose the latter. We’ve already sanctioned/cutoff Russia in every possible way, so what more do they have left to lose? If we nuke Russia back, they will nuke us and then we have WW3," Elon Musk tweeted.

Earlier in the day, Elon Musk tweeted that his company SpaceX is losing about $20 million a month by providing its Starlink satellite internet service to Ukraine adding that the company is not receiving any money from the US department of defence for providing the service.
