The head of the Russian space agency is openly threatening Elon Musk – the Tesla boss just made a joke about it on Twitter.
Elon Musk (50) stays cool. The Tesla boss responded to the threat of Russian space chief Dmitry Rogozin (58) on Twitter with a joke about his own death.
The former Vice Prime Minister of Russia and current head of the Russian space agency Roskosmos had threatened the tech billionaire on a telegram. Musk’s space company Space X had previously made use of the Starlink satellite network available to Ukraine. In this way, the broadband supply can be secured.
“Nice to have known you”
Rogozin wrote on Sunday that Musk was “involved in supplying fascist forces in Ukraine with military communications.” He will have to answer for this “like an adult”. Musk wasn’t intimidated by that. And tweeted: “If I should die under mysterious circumstances – it was nice to have known you.”
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Rogozin has repeatedly made headlines with threats against the West. Only on Sunday did he also write to Telegram that Russia could destroy the NATO countries in a nuclear war within half an hour.
