Details: Musk responded to an AP report stating that the Biden administration had urged Ukraine to rapidly expand its armed forces by, among other things, revising mobilisation laws to permit the drafting of men as young as 18.

"How many more [people] need to die?" Elon Musk tweeted, criticising the content of the AP's report.
