Putin calls Elon Musk a 'real genius' after satellite talks
Original: Elon Musk is a 'real genius', Putin says after satellite talks with SpaceX boss
Russian President Vladimir Putin described Elon Musk as a 'real genius' following talks involving the SpaceX boss and satellite matters. The remark drew attention given Musk's central role in US space and satellite infrastructure, including Starlink, and the sensitive geopolitical backdrop of US-Russia relations. Observers are weighing why Putin chose to publicly praise the American billionaire at this moment.
Why now: A Russian president publicly praising the head of a major US space company is unusual and politically charged.
