Elon Musk has regularly communicated with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a wide array of topics over the past two years, according to a report.
The billionaire SpaceX owner and the Kremlin leader, who is still at war with Ukraine, have discussed geopolitical divisions, business and personal subjects since late 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing several current and ex-US, European and Russian officials.
During one conversation, Putin asked Musk not to turn on his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to China, two people briefed on the matter to the outlet.
The request came late last year, a former Russian intelligence officer told the Journal.
