The American publication The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous former and current officials from the US, Europe and Russia, stated that the American billionaire has been regularly communicating with the head of the Kremlin since the end of 2022, NBN reports.
Journalists write that Musk talks with Putin about personal topics, business and geopolitical tensions. At one point, the Russian leader asked the head of SpaceX not to activate the Starlink satellite communications over Taiwan as a favor to the leader of the PRC.
The newspaper recalled that the businessman has proven himself to be one of the main supporters of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and may find a role for himself in the White House if the politician again leads the United States.
The article says that Musk's regular contacts with the Kremlin dictator may strengthen the former American leader's intention to conclude a deal with Moscow on the war in Ukraine.
According to the WSJ, the entrepreneur has access to classified US information, thanks to deep contacts with American intelligence and the military. In addition, his company won a secret $1.8 billion contract in 2021, becoming the main developer of missiles for the Department of Defense and NASA.
The article notes that the billionaire's Kremlin contacts are a closely guarded secret in Washington.
Recall that earlier this month, Musk spoke about Trump's possible return to the White House. The businessman said that this would help preserve democracy in the States.
