Putin: Elon Musk is a brilliant man, a true genius

During a presentation, Putin praised Elon Musk as a genius while discussing Russia's efforts to develop its own satellite system similar to Starlink. He noted that Russia has launched over 30 satellites to create a counterpart to Musk's system, which has been crucial for Ukraine's military operations. Despite Ukraine's reliance on Starlink and facing connectivity issues, Musk accused the Ukrainian military of violating SpaceX regulations. Tensions between Kyiv and Washington have increased due to various political pressures, including Trump's comments on Ukraine's military actions. Russian officials have previously expressed admiration for Musk, indicating a desire for collaboration on future projects.
