American billionaire Elon Musk publicly responded to remarks by former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who called him the most important technological figure for Ukraine. The businessman left a heart emoji under a clip of the official's interview on CBS News.
This was reported by Glavcom citing CBS News, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
During his appearance, the former defense chief emphasized that the work of the SpaceX founder and the communication systems he provided are critical for the state’s security. This support helped maintain the operability of air defense and aviation while saving numerous civilian lives.
Communication continues despite disagreements
The parties have maintained direct contact for over four years, yet contentious issues regarding equipment usage restrictions remain between them. Specifically, the American entrepreneur continues to block the use of satellite communications for strikes deep inside russian territory, fearing further escalation.
