Oct 25, 2024, 01:15 AM
Elon Musk, the world's richest man and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. The communications covered topics such as geopolitics, business, and personal matters. Musk, who holds a top-secret security clearance and whose companies have sensitive defense contracts with the U.S. government, was at one point asked by Putin to avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping. This revelation raises security concerns due to Musk's significant role in U.S. space and defense sectors.
