Tech tycoon Elon Musk joined a call between US President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the day after the presidential election, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

According to another source, Trump was with Musk at Mar-a-Lago when Zelensky called to congratulate the president-elect for what a source briefed on the call described as a positive and cordial conversation.

Trump put the call on speaker and Zelensky thanked Musk for his help with providing communications through Starlink to Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia. The call was roughly seven minutes long, and no policy was discussed, the source said.

Zelensky previously said on X that he called Trump on Wednesday and congratulated him on “his historic landslide” win. “We agreed to maintain close dialogue and advance our cooperation. Strong and unwavering US leadership is vital for the world and for a just peace,” Zelensky wrote at the time. CNN is reaching out to Musk and Trump’s teams about the call, which was first reported by Axios.

18. Trump has his "gang" advising him

Tucker, Elon, Tulsi, Ramaswamy, JD, RFK Jr. - they all want the war with Ukraine to end. Supposedly- Elon is going to downsize the gov, RFK Jr to work on how our food is produced. -

20. Didn't you forget Hulk Hogan?

2. Lord Elmo (Sith Lord ?)

[JoseBalow]

6. You spelled "shit" wrong

[CentralMass]

9. 🤣 thank you for the correction.

[PortTack]

3. I feel sick every time I think about our Ukrainian allies...how this country will desert them

Musk isn’t going to help Ukraine and neither is tsf!

[Initech]

10. And all because some fucking stupid ass conspiracy theorists called *THEM* the Nazis.

[womanofthehills]

19. Ukraine is losing territory & men -

And I read if the war isn’t settled soon, Africa will have a big food problem because it depends on Ukrainian grains.

4. It almost seems Eloony is the de facto VP. Did Vance lose the VP slot in the election

or is he locked in a closet in mar a lardo?

[Grokenstein]

12. Vance is a hungry little fascist.

He knows what dementia donnie tried to do to his last veep, and dementia donnie knows he knows. It's just a matter of time before the knives come out if they haven't already. dementia donnie's leash-handlers probably have orders to keep them well apart.

13. More like...

...the de facto president. He's the one with the true wealth and power here.

16. Up on stage, skipping around like a dipshit

Walz nailed it.

[Martin68]

5. A billionaire without office involved in international negotiations? This is wrong on so many levels.

Welcome to the new global order.

[Leith]

7. I'd like to hear a recording of that conversation

A simple transcript won't cut it.

Musk is entirely to close to and comfortable with the high levels of the US government. Do heads of contracting companies join conversations like this often? Did Bill Gates? After all, he was the big cheese at Microsoft. Did he sit in on calls between heads of state since they used his OS?

Everything about that call stinks. I don't blame Zelensky - he had no choice but to kiss ass as best he could.

[Jit423]

8. I am sure, Musk made him an offer he can't refuse.

I am also sure that Zelensky feels betrayed by the American voters too.

[C Moon]

11. I feel for Zelensky. I hope the UK and other countries can fill the vaccuum after trump pulls the US out.

[cstanleytech]

14. Probably telling him "We're going to throw you to the wolves if you don't give in to our boss."

[travelingthrulife]

15. So our favorite illegal immigrant is now ruling the world.

We are well and truly fucked.

[Wonder Why]

17. Eloon wants to buy Ukraine and then have the feds fix it up before giving it to Russia
