A Russian official said the American billionaire Elon Musk could be offered political asylum in Russia over his fierce dispute with Donald Trump
Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, made the comments to Russian state news outlet TASS.
“I think that Musk has a completely different game, [so] he will not need any political asylum, although if he did, Russia, of course, could provide it,” Novikov said, in remarks translated from Russian.
Musk and Trump, ostensibly political allies over cuts to federal spending, publicly clashed on June 5 in a series of exchanges across social media and in comments to reporters.
Russia must be loving this. Now nobody is talking about a third of their air force being wiped out by toy drones.
lol this is Putin’s wet dream come true.
If Musk actually does go to Russia, then I think any of his American investments will be up for grabs. That would be quite entertaining.
Wait I’m out of the loop, musk and trump have been fighting?
Oh man, I’m jealous you get to hear it all at once. It’s only been a couple days.
Yes, very publicly, but remember that they lie about everything anyway. So it’s not like the world is a better place because two pieces of s*** are insulting each other in front of the world. They could fight today and work together next week if they think it’ll get them more power and money, because that’s all they live for.
Exactly what everyone expected would happen is happening.
The 2 egomaniacs are sick of each other and lashing out.
he lasted 6.7 longer than truss.
its gonna be hard for this to be any more hilarious
Brought to you out of the playbook:
Of course he can, he’s earned it several time over. He’s done more damage to the US on Russia’s behalf than 50 years of Cold War ever did.
How quickly and conveniently they offered him asylum and publicly 🤣😆
Great, a new country for Musk to rule over
I seriously applaud whoever managed to push that through.
I don’t support anything they do, but that is top tier comedy.
The dude with access to all of the federal government data gets offered asylum and you wonder how that happens?
Well both Trump and Elon have Russian ties. Right now Trump is the bigger asset to them. So if they publicly offer asylum to Musk, it makes Elon look like the worse bad guy and make Trump less bad and possibly slow any attempts to having him removed by the Senate.
So Russia can get Elons money being spent there, and Trump’s dumbassery trying to reduce and remove sanctions against Russia.
In their eyes it’s a win win.
Do it. Pull a Steven Seagal.
Yeah, but what would passing out and shitting himself really accomplish? Focus, man!
From Ketamine to Krokodil, hell yeah I hope Elon takes Putler up on that offer
“Elon has too much government information to go to Russia!”
Y’all, please, listen, Russia already has our government information. The important thing to note here is that whether Elon runs off to Moscow or not, Russia making the offer may well drive a wedge between Russia and Trump. That, in and of itself, is good news. Trump has very few political allies at this point, with most of the world turning against him and trusting the US less. If he is even further alienated, there’s a decent chance his party loses reelection or refuses to go along with his insane 3rd term plans. It’ll take us a long time to rebuild international goodwill, but alienating Trump is a good thing.
Happy to proven wrong is there’s an aspect I’m not considering here, but in my mind when the fascist fight each other it’s good for the rest of us. Makes them easier to tackle, especially if the nonfash (and specifically the left) can unify.
On what do your base that Russia already have all the US secrets? I see several people on this talking point and I would really like something backing this claim.
This (as it stands right now) is not going to drive a wedge between Russia and Trump That’s the reason it’s a lower official saying it. Deniability. But let’s see how it develops from here.
Anyways I agree with you that it’s always better when the right is fighting each other instead of anybody else.
I just want to watch Trump have a full-on narcissistic collapse.
He’d have a good time there with the others who got asylum… Assad, Yanukovych, Marsalek, …
Steven Seagal
So it is all theatre.
Because Russia is now involved in the “fued.” Orchastraited by the Kremlin no doubt. Is it to set up reasoning to help Elon avoid legal consequences in exchange for money? Data? Is it to distract from the funding bill and policies being enacted to kill 258,000,000 Americans?
Wait, what about “killing 258 million americans”? What did I miss? That’s a larger portion than I’d suspected they were aiming for…
its the amount of fentanyl, bondi claimed to have prevented that much deaths like last month.
The numbers floated around were a healthy population of “around 100m” and Bondi stated something about saving 75% of Americans.
They lie, but they certainly can’t come up with numbers for a lie.
That’s like 2 or 3 fentanyl pills, if I understand Bondi right…
Of course they would, think of how much data this guy has that he could provide.
