Russia has said it would offer political asylum to billionaire Elon Musk following his high-profile feud with US President Donald Trump, APA reports citing Yahoo.
Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, told the state news outlet TASS: “I think that Musk has a completely different game, [so] he will not need any political asylum, although if he did, Russia, of course, could provide it.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to directly weigh in on the dispute when questioned by reporters on Friday, describing the row as a “domestic issue of the United States”.
“We don’t intend to interfere,” Peskov said. “We’re confident the US president will handle this situation on his own.”
