UFC fighters don’t shy away from posting what they feel on social. This was certainly the case with former UFC welterweight Jake Shields, who shared his thoughts on the new bill which The House passed, also mentioning Elon Musk.

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a $40 billion bill to aid Ukraine during the ongoing conflict. This decision was met with a lot of support and a little backlash as well.

One person who wasn’t too pleased about this news was none other than Jake Shields. He took to Twitter to express his thoughts about this whole situation.

The American tweeted, “The same people that were mad Elon Musk used 40 billion to buy Twitter instead of end world hunger are now celebrating giving Ukraine 40 billion to buy missiles.”

In his tweet, Shields also mentioned multi-billionaire Elon Musk buying Twitter for $44 billion, which was met with a lot of backlash. People criticized Musk for not spending his money wisely. They claimed it would be wiser to spend the money on more significant issues in our society, such as world hunger.
