Never one to miss an opportunity for political meddling, Russia has now offered Elon Musk asylum after his public feud with Donald Trump

It has been a hectic week for the billionaire – banishment from the White House, an end to his ‘great relationship’ with the US president and then thestock price of his company, Tesla, plunging.

Utilising the rift between two of the most powerful men in the world, the Kremlin has decided to extend a helping hand.

Dmitry Novikov, the first deputy chairperson of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov (CPRF) said: ‘I think Musk is playing a completely different game…

‘[I do not think] he will not need any political asylum, but if he does need it, Russia, of course, could provide it.’ 

Novikov noted that over the past years, Musk has formed ‘a certain political communication,’ so ‘individual disagreements will remain individual disagreements.’
