- Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday praised Elon Musk, calling the Tesla and SpaceX founder a “talented businessman.”
- Putin was discussing Russia’s space program after a failed moon landing last month.
- His comments come after Musk said last week that he refused an emergency request by the Ukrainian government to extend coverage of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites to Sevastopol in Crimea.
So this is just confirmation he’s in his pocket. I mean how else could anyone look at this?
I see it as Putin seizing an opportunity to troll. Anything to stir shit up and divide people.
I guess he has to do it himself now that Prigozhin is dead.
That’s exactly what Putin/Russia wants you to think. I mean, cmon…
Musk is an idiot and a tool, but this is just Putin playing with the public opinion :)
