Musk tweets out a single Greek word “διαλεκτική” – What does he mean?

Some say he is calling for talks between Russia and Ukraine

Newsroom October 25 03:01

The richest person in the world Elon Musk caused some confusion among millions of people on the Twittersphere after posting a single Greek word “διαλεκτική”, which means dialectic in English.

The owner of Telsa came under heavy criticism after tabling a list of proposals for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, which resulted in Ukrainian officials using foul language against him. Musk subsequently pulled the plug on his Starlink satellite support network of the Ukrainian military in the battle theatre, citing huge costs.

After his tweet of the Greek word, many chimed in, some claiming he was again proposing talks between the two warring factions, while others proposed he was coaxing the Biden administration with his anti-war stance to launch an investigation in his bid to take over Twiter because he wanted to pull out.
