Elon Musk joined Donald Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The call took place on November 6, shortly after the US election results were announced, according to Axios.

According to sources, the phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy included two surprises: Musk was also on the line, and Zelenskyy was somewhat reassured by what he heard from the elected president.

The report highlights how influential Musk could be in a Trump administration and the uncertainty about how the future US president will approach support for Ukraine.

The conversation lasted about 25 minutes, but sources note that Trump and Zelenskyy did not delve into topics like a plan to end the war or the prospects for further US aid to Ukraine.

Musk, for his part, stated that he would continue supporting Ukraine by providing Starlink satellites.
