A Russian official said the American billionaire Elon Musk could be offered political asylum in Russia over his fierce dispute with Donald Trump
Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, made the comments to Russian state news outlet TASS.
“I think that Musk has a completely different game, [so] he will not need any political asylum, although if he did, Russia, of course, could provide it,” Novikov said, in remarks translated from Russian.
Musk and Trump, ostensibly political allies over cuts to federal spending, publicly clashed on June 5 in a series of exchanges across social media and in comments to reporters.
Yes. please take him.
Do we really want the guy who just made off with a large portion of government sensitive data to go to Russia?
Do you think physical distance is keeping the data safely within our borders?
I’d rather punish him here
Like he hasn’t already given Russia the data.
Between Agent Krasnov and Agent Muskovite I’m sure they already have full access, this is just their way of getting a dig in at everyone who already knows this is the case. The Kremlin is basically rubbing it in our faces to tell us they own all these guys and they know there’s nothing we can do about it.
The guy in the White House already gave it to them.
I mean Putin already has his ear. Guess they want the rest of him.
That would not end well.
He should do it.
I’m not sure it’s a smart move by Russia if a Russian official sides with Musk at this point. Not saying it’s not a perfect match though.
Sure, why not? I hear Russia is extremely drug-use-positive and cultivates oligarchs who don’t submit to authority.
Take it! I mean, people act like he “owns” his companies but he owns like 8% of Tesla and SpaceX is probably similar. No one gives a shit about his monkey torture project and X+xAI is worthless. Boring Company isn’t doing anything. And if you’re the “CEO” of more than one company, you’re actually running zero. He’s a mascot. We could probably be rid of him for less than the price of widening an interstate for ignorant reasons.
SpaceX is probably similar
Tesla is a publicly-traded company. There is no reason to believe SpaceX, which is still privately held, should be similar.
A 2023 Wall Street Journal article (linked here in archive form) claims Musk controls 42% of its equity has 79% voting control.
