A Russian official said the American billionaire Elon Musk could be offered political asylum in Russia over his fierce dispute with Donald Trump

Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, made the comments to Russian state news outlet TASS.

“I think that Musk has a completely different game, [so] he will not need any political asylum, although if he did, Russia, of course, could provide it,” Novikov said, in remarks translated from Russian.

Musk and Trump, ostensibly political allies over cuts to federal spending, publicly clashed on June 5 in a series of exchanges across social media and in comments to reporters.

      no lmao.

      surprisingly hot take these days but I prefer critical analysis to being an emotional reactionary.

      i suppose that’s just "cringe’ tho, isn’t it?
