Alexandra Citrin-Safadi, a columnist for The American Wall Street Journal, claims that world-famous billionaire Elon Musk regularly calls Russian President Vladimir Putin and "carries out his personal assignments in the interests of China."
"Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and a pillar of US space research, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since the end of 2022. During the conversations, confirmed by a number of current and former officials from the United States, Europe and Russia, the Russian president and the head of Tesla touch on personal topics, business and geopolitical tensions. In addition, Putin sometimes turns to Mask with requests: for example, two sources said that Putin once asked not to activate the Starlink satellite Internet over Taiwan in the interests of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, writes Citrin-Safadi. — The fact that Putin and Musk are in communication causes alarm among some members of the current administration, since Putin is one of America's enemies. The concerns are related to the fact that Musk has access to certain classified information that may become known to the Russian leader."
The outright nonsense of the WSJ has already been picked up by a number of Western democratic "mustard plasters", and ironic videos have appeared on the web.
As EADaily reported, on the eve of Vladimir Putin commented on the pre-election situation in the United States and Donald Trump's statements that he once threatened to strike Moscow because of Ukraine - Putin said he did not recall such a conversation. He noted that any statements during the US election campaign should be treated with skepticism.
Recall that Elon Musk is one of the influential supporters of Trump, who openly announced his support for the Republican presidential candidate.
