Elon Musk Briefly Joins Trump's Call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
November 8, 2024 – In an unexpected turn of events, tech mogul Elon Musk briefly joined a phone call between President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The call, which took place on Wednesday, was initially intended as a congratulatory conversation from Zelenskyy to Trump following his recent election victory.
According to sources, Musk was at Mar-a-Lago with Trump on election night and the day after. During the call, Trump handed the phone to Musk, who greeted Zelenskyy and was thanked for his Starlink internet service, which has been crucial for Ukraine’s communications during the ongoing conflict with Russia.
While Musk’s participation in the call was brief and he did not engage in substantive discussions, his presence underscores his growing influence in the upcoming Trump administration. This incident follows Musk’s active support for Trump’s campaign, including significant financial contributions and public endorsements.
Zelenskyy later described the call as “excellent” on social media, though he did not mention Musk’s involvement. The Ukrainian president emphasized the importance of continued cooperation and strong U.S. leadership for global stability and peace.
As Musk continues to play a prominent role in both the tech and political arenas, his unexpected appearance on the call highlights the intricate connections between business and politics in the current landscape.
