- 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.
Putin should know to just shut up about him. He’s doing everything he can to be useful to Putin. Why implicate him by association? Just shut up and enjoy your tool.
Probably he is doing deliberately to trigger the US government, we bought one of your oligarchs.
He bought several, if anything this is less about antagonizing the US and more of an open application
He’s even bought their oranges.
True although it didn’t take much effort for the Orange man case
He has to pay back his debts, and Musk likes to be paid in praise.
