US EditionPutin ally: Russia ready to facilitate Trump-Musk peace deal
- On June 5, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk engaged in a public feud that escalated sharply on social media and in government threats.
- The conflict grew after Trump threatened to cut over $22 billion in government contracts to Musk's companies, partly due to Musk taking credit for Trump's 2024 election victory and criticizing legislation.
- Russian officials, including former President Dmitry Medvedev and senator Dmitry Rogozin, publicly waded into the dispute, offering to mediate a peace deal and inviting Musk to relocate his businesses to Russia.

- The feud risks disrupting critical U.S. Defense operations reliant on Musk's companies, such as SpaceX launches and Starlink communications, with potential broad impacts on national security infrastructure.
