According to the " New York Post " report on the 11th, Musk, founder and CEO of the American space exploration technology company (SpaceX), denied a Western media report. The report claimed that he had spoken with Russian President Putin before a peace plan was proposed a few days ago to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

It is reported that this statement in the report was proposed by Ian Bremmer, president of the risk assessment company Eurasia Group, on Monday. In an email to clients, he said Musk spoke with Putin before posting his peace plan on social media last week. Musk denied the claim on Tuesday after North American media Vice News reported on the incident.

On the same day, someone tweeted on Twitter to share the report of "Vice News" and @Musk and asked him if the matter is true. Musk responded on a tweet saying, "No, this is not true. I only spoke to Putin once, and that was about 18 months ago. The topic of the conversation is space."
Another Twitter user also asked Musk if he would like to talk to Putin again to discuss the possibility of a peace plan. Musk replied that this "no sense, because the conditions proposed by Russia and Ukraine do not overlap or even close."

After Musk denied, Bremer posted several tweets, reiterating his statement. He wrote: "HTM1Elon Musk told me that he had a direct conversation with Putin and Kremlin on Ukraine. He also told me what the Kremlin's red line is. I've been writing weekly newsletters about geopolitics for 24 years. I wrote honestly, without fear or partiality, and the update this week is no exception. I have always admired Musk, a unique, world-changing entrepreneur, which I have already said publicly. He is not a geopolitical expert. ”
Previously, on October 3, Musk proposed his own peace plan to stop the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, including: Under the supervision of " United Nations ", let the four places of Donetsk , Lugansk , Zaporoze , and Khlsson re-enter the referendum; make Crimea officially become part of Russia; ensure the safety of water supply in Crimea; and Ukraine remains neutral. His suggestion has sparked strong criticism from Ukrainian side, including Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Ukrainian media "Kiev Post" posted a post on social media Twitter on the 6th to criticize Musk: "Elon Musk's situation is obviously out of control. When he tries to impersonate an expert on Ukraine, his ego and vanity seem to play a huge role. Stop, Elon . It doesn't matter if you admit that you have done too much. Stop." In addition, the newspaper also clearly stated that it did not agree with Musk's peace plan. In response to this criticism, Musk responded, "I am a loyal fan of Ukraine, but not from World War III (fan)." (Editor: HHJ)
