Musk tweeting back this “No, it is not. I have spoken to Putin only once and that was about 18 months ago. The subject matter was space.”

Last week the Tesla CEO suggested that Crimea, which is Ukrainian territory under international law, should be formally recognised as part of Russia.

This follows Musk previously saying Ukraine should remain a neutral country.

The world’s richest man also recently suggested that Taiwan should become a “special administrative zone” of China too.
