Fresh Scoop: Musk Mediates Peace, Russia Offers Musk Asylum Over Trump Clash
Moscow Extends Asylum Proposal to Musk Amidst Ongoing Dispute with Trump
Looks like Elon Musk and Donald Trump are locked in a heated feud, and it seems like Moscow is stepping in with an interesting offer for the Tesla bigwig. Reports suggest that Russia could provide Musk political asylum if need be, but with a twist!
According to the Russian State Duma's deputy chairman, Dmitri Novikov, Musk is playing a deeper game, asserting that Musk views political asylum as unnecessary, even though Russia is ready to grant it if necessary. On the other hand, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitri Peskov refused to involve Moscow in the Trump-Musk dispute, stating that it is an internal US matter and the president will handle it himself.
Former Russian president and deputy chairman of the Security Council, Dmitri Medvedev, hinted at acting as a mediator between the two powerhouse figures – Trump and Musk – in exchange for shares of Starlink, Musk's satellite internet system. Medvedev is infamous for his frequent anti-Western rhetoric[1].
The public war of words started when Musk criticized the Trump administration's proposed tax and spending reform bill, labeling it an "ugly monstrosity" for its negative impact on electric vehicle subsidies[1]. The bill, currently under consideration, could disrupt Musk's Tesla business [1][2][3].
The prospect of a reconciliation between Trump and Musk appears slim for now, as Trump accused Musk of "losing it" on his social media platform, Truth Social, and reportedly declined a clarifying chat[1][3].
It's intriguing to see how this deteriorating relationship between Musk and Trump unfolds. Amidst this, Russia's potential involvement and interesting offer to Musk have taken the situation to an entirely new level.
