Elon Musk’s Father Praises Putin as a ‘Pleasant Man’

Elon Musk’s father fawned over Russian President Vladimir Putin while attending a forum in Moscow hosted by a Russian ultranationalist organization.

Errol Musk, 79, praised Putin as a “very stable and pleasant man,” and gushed about the dictator’s supposed leadership qualities, The Times reported. He was pictured with Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev, whom the U.S. has hit with sanctions for supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
