The Guardian reports that Vladimir Putin has described Elon Musk as a genius, with the remarks linked to Musk's Starlink satellite business in Russia. The comments are drawing attention because of Musk's political influence in Washington and his key role in supplying satellite internet to Ukraine, making the praise controversial.

Why now: Putin's flattering remarks about Musk are striking given Starlink's role in the Ukraine war and Musk's position in US politics.
