Dogecoin Fan Elon Musk Responds to Relations With Putin
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has regularly communicated with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They have talked on wider topics including personal matters, business, and geopolitics, reported WSJ on October 25, citing current and former U.S., Russian, and European officials.
For instance, Putin earlier asked Musk not to activate Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to China. SpaceX, which runs Starlink has business worth billions with the US military and intelligence agencies, and Musk was allowed security clearance to some classified information. No red flags have been raised yet, but some officials raised concerns over it.
Elon Musk scoffs at reports on Putin, indicating it was another attack on Donald Trump’s re-election campaign after the “Trump is Hitler” didn’t work. Musk is now a key backer of Trump’s 2024 campaign and could hold a major role in a future Trump administration.
