Musk is a technocrat. A technological future can’t exist in a world where the Western economy is completely fucking destroyed. A Second Great Depression would cause a 90% drop to the stock market and erase all pensions. No one can afford SpaceX launches, Teslas, solar panels and batteries, or robots in that world.
So he doesn’t want the war to continue. And he’s not mentally ill (well, not in the standard way), so he’s capable of looking at the situation dispassionately and seeing that half of Ukraine is going to join Russia no matter what. So he wants to avoid permanent worldwide economic collapse in order to achieve that.
Exactly. He only cares about his technocracy. He’s not a nationalist. He knows nothing about race. He knows nothing about history. He doesn’t care at all. His actions serve his goal of technocracy, blind to all else.
