Elon Musk’s Secret Communications with Putin Raise Concerns

Musk’s Private Calls with Putin Spark Debate on National Security

Reports reveal that since late 2022, Elon Musk has held secret phone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. These discussions have reportedly covered business matters and global tensions, sparking concerns among US national security officials. 

Notably, Putin allegedly requested Musk not to activate his Starlink satellite service over Taiwan, a favor to Chinese President Xi Jinping, who regards Taiwan as part of China.

These private talks have generated controversy, especially given Musk’s key role as a contractor for NASA and the Pentagon, granting him access to sensitive US intelligence. White House officials were reportedly unaware of the full scope of Musk’s contact with Russian officials, raising questions about the implications of these interactions.

While some view Musk’s communication with Putin as a potential bridge for diplomacy, others worry about the risks of a high-profile business figure having such influence on international affairs. Musk denies accusations of being close to Putin, insisting that his companies have actively countered Russian interests.
