Political-risk consultancy Eurasia Group head Ian Bremmer wrote in a note to clients on Monday that Musk told him about recently speaking to Putin
Both the Kremlin and Elon Musk denied a report that said the billionaire spoke directly to Vladimir Putin about Ukraine.
Musk said in a tweet on Tuesday that he didn’t speak to Putin about the war, adding that such a call would be “pointless, as there is currently no overlap between Russian and Ukrainian demands — it’s not even close”.“I write honestly without fear or favour and this week’s update was no different,” Bremmer said. “I’ve long admired Musk as a unique and world-changing entrepreneur, which I’ve said publicly. He’s not a geopolitics expert.
In his most recent note, Bremmer said Musk had told him about two weeks earlier that he’d discussed with Putin the president’s minimum requirements for ending the war. Those conditions, which mirrored the proposals Musk put forward in his tweets on October 3, included Ukraine ceding Crimea, which Putin seized in 2014, accepting a formal state of neutrality and recognising Russia’s annexation of the eastern Ukrainian regions of Luhansk and Donetsk.
