Trump connects Elon Musk with Ukraine's Zelenskyy during congratulatory call
During a call on Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump connected billionaire Elon Musk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Musk briefly spoke with Zelenskyy, who thanked him for his support in providing Starlink satellite internet to Ukraine.
This interaction underscores 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 may differ from previous U.S. policies. He has indicated a willingness to negotiate peace that could involve territorial concessions, a stance Zelenskyy has rejected.
