Why does this quote seem... Inaccurate? I've seen Muskrat speak a few times and he's seemed to have a basic understanding of the English language? Never heard him discuss the flower of youth?

Yes. I advise him (Zelensky - ed.) not to send the flower of Ukrainian youth to die in the trenches... I think he should meet Putin in person. The reason why I proposed some kind of truce or peace a year ago was that I predicted almost exactly what would happen, namely: many people would die due to the lack of tangible changes on the front line and the loss of the flower of Ukrainian and Russian youth," he said

I listened to Lex Friedman's podcast with Elon Musk as guest, an he used that expression several times. It seems like it's more like a slavic expression. So I don't know, perhaps he got it straight from Putin or perhaps he's just deliberately using an expression that resonates more with Russians and Ukrainians.
