Kremlin denies WSJ report of Elon Musk's contacts with Putin

by Reuters

   MOSCOW --

   The Kremlin on Friday denied a Wall Street Journal report about regular
   contacts between Elon Musk and President Vladimir Putin.

   "No, this is not true," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
   Peskov said that Putin had one contact with Musk -- the world's richest
   man -- and it was before 2022.

   The Journal said Musk had been in regular contact with Putin since late
   2022. Peskov said the report was absolutely false.
