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.
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.
