In a series of secret phone conversations since late 2022, Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin have discussed personal lives and global politics, raising concerns among US officials.
A former Russian intelligence official revealed that Putin reportedly asked Musk not to activate Starlink satellites over Taiwan, linking it to a favor for China among geopolitical tensions.
US officials were mostly unaware of Musk's frequent communications with Putin, with insiders expressing unease but indicating it hasn't yet adversely affected Musk's contracts with the government.
Despite concerns over Musk's interactions with Putin, including a desire to get Trump back in power, the Biden administration has not yet taken substantial action against him.
