Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia has called Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and Space X, an outstanding and talented person.
At the Eastern Economic Forum, Putin said that Musk, the American billionaire tycoon, must be recognized as an outstanding and talented person and businessman.
At the Forum, which is broadcast by Russia 24, a Kremlin-aligned TV channel, Russian President Putin said, “As for Elon Musk’s private business… He is definitely an outstanding person, this must be recognised… I think this is recognised all over the world. He is an active and talented businessman. He is doing a lot of things, in particular with the support of the American state.”
Elon Musk, who apparently assisted intercepted a Ukrainian attack on the Russian navy in 2022, said that as an American citizen, he does not consider himself a “traitor”. The billionaire tycoon explained his position on Russia in the battle against Ukraine by saying that the US Congress had not declared combat on Russia.
Putin who earlier on the Forum backed, another controversial figure of the US, Donald Trump said that legal proceedings against Donald Trump, former US president, are a “politically motivated persecution” and it displays the rottenness of the American system.
