Trump vs Musk feud sparks mockery in Moscow: ‘Don't fight, guys!' say Russian officials
The ongoing public spat between US President Donald Trump and tech-billionaire Elon Musk has found unlikely spectators in Moscow, where top officials, tycoons, and media personalities gleefully weighed in with offers of peace talks, business deals—and sarcasm. 'Elon, don't be upset!' posted nationalist senator Dmitry Rogozin, formerly head of Russia's space programme. 'If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us. Here you will find reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity,' he added on Musk's own platform, X. Elon @elonmusk , don't be upset! You are respected in Russia. If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us and become one of us – a 'Bars-Sarmat' fighter. Here you will find reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity. — ROGOZIN (@Rogozin) June 6, 2025 Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also joined the online fray, quipping: 'We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment. Don't fight, guys!' The clash between the US president and the world's richest man quickly became low-hanging fruit for Russia's political elite, many of whom have made a habit of mocking perceived chaos in Washington. Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT and one of Russia's most powerful media figures, jabbed at the row as a symbol of 'modern US. political culture' — calling it 'Sort of like the English Industrial Revolution. Only in reverse.' Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund and a former advocate for US-Russia cooperation in space, lamented: 'Why can't we all just get along?' He later asked X's AI chatbot, Grok, how the pair might reconcile. @grok what needs to happen for @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk to reconcile — Kirill A. Dmitriev (@kadmitriev) June 5, 2025 Even the Kremlin chimed in—carefully. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov diplomatically called it an 'internal matter' for the US but expressed faith in Trump's ability to multitask. 'Presidents handle a huge number of different things at the same time, some more and some less important,' he said, Reuters reported. Others, like hardline nationalist businessman Konstantin Malofeyev, viewed the feud as a strategic opening: 'We can just be glad that they won't have time for us… the best time to strike back [against Ukraine].'

The Foreign Ministers of Central Asian countries on Friday (June 6, 2025) 'unequivocally condemned' the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and conveyed their 'firm commitment' to fight terrorism. The common position against terrorism was arrived at during the India-Central Asia Dialogue that was chaired by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. He acknowledged the solidarity that the Central Asian countries had extended to India after the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. He also called upon the region to work for 'greater financial connectivity' with India. 'They reaffirmed their firm commitment to fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, and reiterated that providing safe haven, using terrorist proxies for cross-border terrorism, terror financing, arms and drugs trafficking, dissemination of a radical ideology and abuse of cyber space to spread disinformation and incite violence goes against the basic principles of humanity and international relations,' the participating Foreign Ministers said in a joint statement that was issued at the end of the meeting. The participating countries also stressed that 'perpetrators, organisers,financiers and sponsors of terrorist acts must be held accountable and brought to justice'. Push for connectivity The Foreign Ministers of India, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan emphasised 'optimum usage of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC)' to enhance connectivity between India and the Central Asian countries. The participants at the dialogue said connectivity projects should be 'based on principles of transparency, broad participation, local priorities, financial sustainability, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries'. At the meeting, India supported the membership of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the INSTC. 'The Ministers underlined the importance of greater financial connectivity between India and Central Asian countries, including through digital payment systems, enhanced inter-bank relations, and trade in national currencies to encourage greater trade, investment, tourism and people-to-people exchanges,' the joint declaration stated. It also expressed interest in joint exploration of rare earth and critical minerals, and called on the participating countries to organise the second India-Central Asia Rare Earth Forum meeting 'at the earliest convenience'. Trusted partner Earlier, inaugurating the dialogue, Mr. Jaishankar described India as 'a trusted development partner' of Central Asia. Mr. Jaishankar highlighted trade and investment, defence, agro-processing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, regional connectivity, security, education, culture, people-to-people exchanges as areas where bilateral cooperation will increase in the coming period. 'India remains a trusted development partner for all of you. Together with ITEC (Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation) training slots and ICCR scholarships, which are the most well-known forms of our development partnerships, we also have started providing high-impact community development projects as Indian grants for socio-economic development,' said Mr. Jaishankar.
