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].'

'Presidents handle a huge number of different things at the same time, some more and some less important," Peskov said. What Happened Between Trump And Musk? The high-profile alliance between Trump and Musk has dramatically unraveled into a bitter public feud with the two exchanging sharp accusations. The fallout began when Trump publicly criticised Musk at a White House press briefing, backing legislation that could severely impact the electric vehicle industry- a direct hit on Tesla. Musk, in response, fired back on his platform X, claiming that without his financial and strategic backing, Donald Trump would have lost the 2024 election. Calling the US President 'ungrateful", Elon Musk said, 'Without me, Trump would have lost. The Democrats would control the House." Musk then dropped a bombshell claim that Trump's name appears in sealed files related to Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that's why the documents remain hidden. He wrote, 'Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files." He then went on to endorse a post calling for Trump's impeachment and suggested that Vice President JD Vance replace him. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Musk's Epstein tweet 'is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' because it does not include the policies he wanted."

‘Ready to facilitate for a reasonable fee': Russia mocks Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud, offers 'peace talks' & business haven for Tesla CEO
Russia mocks Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud, offers 'peace talks' & business haven for Tesla CEO (Picture credit: AP) The spectacular fallout between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk has become a source of mockery and intrigue in Moscow, where senior officials and media figures are treating the public feud as both comedy and opportunity. "Elon, don't be upset!" posted nationalist senator Dmitry Rogozin, the former head of Russia's space agency, on Musk's platform X. "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, in a tone mixing humour with a clear invitation. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev took the trolling a step further, offering to mediate between the feuding duo. 'We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee,' he wrote on X, before jokingly requesting Starlink shares as payment. As per the news agency Reuters, the episode has been widely ridiculed as an example of chaos in Washington, with Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT, deriding it as 'modern US political culture, sort of like the English Industrial Revolution. Only in reverse.' The Trump-Musk relationship imploded after Musk criticised Trump's flagship legislative proposal as an 'abomination.' Trump responded with rare public disappointment, telling reporters in the Oval Office, 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore.' He later suggested slashing Musk's lucrative government contracts, saying, 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.' The spat escalated quickly, with Musk accusing Trump of 'ingratitude' and reposting claims that the president appeared in government documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, allegations he shared without providing evidence. The feud also triggered a $100 billion drop in Tesla's market value and prompted Musk to threaten decommissioning SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, a key part of Nasa missions, before walking it back. The Russian elite appears to be relishing the distraction. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, as reported by Reuters, dismissed the feud as an internal US matter but expressed confidence in Trump's ability to manage it. Others, like hardline nationalist businessman Konstantin Malofeyev, saw strategic value in the squabble. 'We can just be glad that they won't have time for us,' he said, calling it 'the best time to strike back' against Ukraine. Meanwhile, the White House ruled out any imminent reconciliation. A senior official said that Trump had no plans to speak to Musk, dismissing rumours of a scheduled call. When asked by ABC whether he intended to reconnect with his ex-ally, Trump replied bluntly: 'You mean the man who has lost his mind?' As the public spat continues to reverberate, it has turned into a political spectacle that offers both global amusement and serious implications.
