Musk joins Trump’s call with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy to discuss path to end war with Russia – Report

Elon Musk’s influence within the incoming administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump appears significant, as he reportedly joined Trump’s recent call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the ongoing conflict with Russia, according to Axios.

Sources familiar with the call shared that Zelenskyy felt “somewhat reassured” by Trump’s comments. During his campaign, Trump had pledged to end the war in Ukraine within “24 hours” of taking office, raising concerns about whether his approach would lean favorably toward Russia.

Axios reports that the conversation between Trump and Zelenskyy lasted approximately 25 minutes, during which Trump expressed his intention to support Ukraine, though he refrained from providing specific details.

Musk also reportedly contributed to the discussion, affirming his commitment to continue supporting Ukraine through his Starlink satellite network. Axios noted that Musk did not respond to a request for comment on the matter.
