Washington: When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Donald Trump after he was elected President of the United States, Elon Musk was sitting next to him. So while on the phone with Zelensky, Trump then turned the phone on and put him on the phone with Elon Musk. It is unclear what Zelensky discussed with newly elected President Trump. One source said Zelensky spoke with Musk, who was instrumental in strengthening Ukraine’s communications capabilities during the war.
Elon Musk joined Trump at his private club and Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida during the conversation. He described his phone conversation with Zelensky as positive. Another source said Zelensky had called Trump to congratulate him. He and Trump chatted for a while, and when he handed the phone to Musk, Zelensky thanked him for providing communications support to Ukraine during the war.
Trump promises ceasefire in Ukraine
During his campaign before winning the election, Trump promised to quickly end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump’s statement is seen as supporting Russia’s full occupation of four regions in Ukraine following its attack on Ukraine in 2022. However, during the presidential debate, Trump refused to say whose side he was on: did he want to see Ukraine win the war? Instead, he said Zelensky has received significant military and financial support from the Biden administration. He is an excellent marketer. That’s why every time Zelensky comes to the United States, he leaves with $60 billion, but it’s Americans’ taxes. It is clear from Trump’s remarks that the Trump administration will not now provide weapons aid to the war in Ukraine.
Elon Musk has a very close relationship with Trump
American industrialist Elon Musk publicly supported Trump in the presidential election. He also held rallies in support of Trump in many places. Also campaigned for Trump’s victory on X. That’s why he got close to Trump. He provided all financial and material support for Trump’s presidential campaign. Musk has also become a major supplier to the war in Ukraine through his Starlink satellite communications network. The Pentagon also plays an important role, as it often relies heavily on SpaceX’s launch capabilities. Trump has promised that he would like Musk to serve in a role recommending reductions in government spending.
What does Zelensky want from Trump?
Zelensky called Trump early Wednesday after Trump’s victory. Zelensky urged Trump to help strengthen Ukraine’s ability to resist Russian aggression. “It has always been important for us in Ukraine and all of Europe to hear the words of the then 45th President of the United States about ‘peace through strength,'” Zelensky wrote on social media after his conversation with Trump. “When this principle of his becomes the policy of the 47th president, it will undoubtedly benefit the United States and the world.” He said that people want to be confident, want freedom, and want a normal life. That means a life free from Russian aggression, with a strong America, a strong Ukraine, and strong allies.
