The relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has exploded in a series of fiery exchanges.

A Russian official said the American billionaire Elon Musk could be offered political asylum in Russia over his fierce dispute with Donald Trump

Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, made the comments to Russian state news outlet TASS.

“I think that Musk has a completely different game, [so] he will not need any political asylum, although if he did, Russia, of course, could provide it,” Novikov said, in remarks translated from Russian.

Musk and Trump, ostensibly political allies over cuts to federal spending, publicly clashed on June 5 in a series of exchanges across social media and in comments to reporters.

    So it is all theatre.

    Because Russia is now involved in the “fued.” Orchastraited by the Kremlin no doubt. Is it to set up reasoning to help Elon avoid legal consequences in exchange for money? Data? Is it to distract from the funding bill and policies being enacted to kill 258,000,000 Americans?

        The numbers floated around were a healthy population of “around 100m” and Bondi stated something about saving 75% of Americans.

        They lie, but they certainly can’t come up with numbers for a lie.
