Washington: When Ukrainian President Zelensky called Donald Trump after being elected President of America, Elon Musk was also sitting with him. Therefore, while talking to Zelensky, Trump later put the phone on speaker and also got him to talk to Elon Musk. There is no clarity on what Zelensky talked to newly elected President Trump. A source said Zelensky spoke to Musk, who has played a big role in strengthening Ukraine's communications capability in the war.
Elon Musk was with Trump at his private club and Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida during this conversation. He described the phone call conversation with Zelensky as positive. Another source said Zelensky had called Trump to congratulate him. He talked to Trump for a while and when he handed over the phone to Musk, Zelensky thanked him for providing communications support to Ukraine in the war.
Trump has promised a ceasefire in Ukraine
During his campaign before winning the election, Trump had promised to quickly end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This announcement by Trump is being seen as supporting Russia's comprehensive occupation of 4 areas of Ukraine after attacking it in 2022. However, during the presidential debate, Trump refused to say which side he was on, i.e. whether he wanted to see Ukraine win the war or not? On the contrary, he said that Zelensky has received a lot of military and financial support from the Biden administration. He is a good marketer. That's why whenever Zelensky comes to America, he takes away 60 billion dollars, but this is Americans' tax money. It is clear from Trump's comment that now the Trump administration will not provide arms assistance to Ukraine in the war.
Elon Musk has become very close to Trump
American industrialist Elon Musk openly supported Trump in the presidential election. He also held rallies in support of Trump at many places. Also campaigned for Trump's victory on X. That's why he has become close to Trump. He has provided all financial and material support to Trump in his presidential campaign. Musk has also been a key supplier to the Ukrainian war effort through his Starlink satellite communications network. Also playing an important role for the Pentagon, as it often relies heavily on SpaceX for launch capability. Trump has promised that he wants Musk in a role recommending ways to reduce government spending.
