WSJ: Elon Musk Allegedly in Contact with Putin, Asked to Limit Starlink Over Taiwan for China
Oct 25, 2024, 06:08 AM
The Wall Street Journal has reportedly published a story alleging that Elon Musk, the world's richest man and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022. According to multiple current and former U.S., European, and Russian officials cited in the report, the discussions have covered personal topics, business matters, and geopolitical tensions. At one point, Putin allegedly asked Musk to avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The report suggests that these interactions have raised security concerns, given Musk's significant involvement in U.S. government contracts and his role in U.S. space efforts.
