Russia Mocks Trump-Musk Feud, Offers Asylum

The feud between U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk began with Musk's criticism of Trump's tax bill and escalated into mutual personal attacks, resulting in a significant drop in Tesla's market value. Russian officials and media responded with mockery, offering to mediate the dispute or grant Musk political asylum, sometimes joking about accepting Starlink shares in return. Senior figures like Dmitry Medvedev and Dmitry Rogozin humorously invited Musk to bring his businesses to Russia, while Dmitry Novikov stated Russia would offer asylum if needed. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov labeled the feud an internal U.S. matter and expressed confidence in Trump's ability to handle it. Russian commentators have used the episode to highlight what they see as political chaos in Washington. The incident has become a tool for Russian media to ridicule U.S. political culture amid ongoing tensions.
