Trump connects Elon Musk with Ukraine's Zelenskyy during congratulatory call
President-elect Donald Trump connected Elon Musk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a congratulatory call. Musk briefly spoke with Zelenskyy, who thanked him for his support in providing Starlink satellite internet to Ukraine.
This interaction highlights Musk's influence in Trump's circle. Trump has suggested Musk could play a role in his administration, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest due to SpaceX's government contracts.
Trump's approach to Ukraine differs from President Joe Biden's, as he has indicated a willingness to negotiate territorial concessions with Russia, a stance Zelenskyy opposes. Trump previously authorized U.S. military aid to Ukraine in 2017.
