Tech mogul Elon Musk, known for his political spending and government contracts, found himself on a call between US President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the day after the 2024 election. A source close to the situation revealed this interesting development to CNN. Zelensky had earlier congratulated Trump on his win and expressed his desire to maintain close ties, emphasizing the importance of US leadership in achieving peace.

The war in Ukraine has been a hot topic, with Russia making advances in the east. Trump, during his campaign, questioned the US's commitment to Ukraine, suggesting a possible truce with Russia. Musk, a known supporter of Trump, has had a complex relationship with the war effort. His company SpaceX's Starlink service has been a lifeline for Ukrainian forces, but their relationship has been strained by cost issues and reports of Russian use of the service.

A biography by Walter Isaacson shed light on Musk's decision to disrupt Starlink service near Crimea due to fears of a nuclear response from Russia. Musk's interactions with foreign leaders, including Putin, have also raised concerns among US officials. Despite these complexities, Musk's involvement in the call raises questions about his potential influence in the incoming administration.
