Elon Musk Invites Russia President Vladimir Putin to a Clubhouse Chat, Kremlin Says ‘Interested’
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that “President Putin does not directly use social networks”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was interested in tech billionaire Elon Musk’s proposal that the two men chat on the audio chat app Clubhouse.
Musk, one of the world’s richest people, on Sunday tagged the Kremlin’s account on Twitter along with the invitation. In a separate tweet in Russian, he added: “It would be a great honour to speak with you.”

“So first we will somehow check all this, and then we will react.”
He also noted, referring to Musk’s suggestion that the men chat on Clubhouse that “President Putin does not directly use social networks”.
Clubhouse, the audio chat app popular among tech billionaires, allows users to start or listen to conversations in digital “rooms” of up to 5,000 people.
After the shutdown of American shuttles in 2011, the Russian Soyuz rocket had become the only spacecraft capable of bringing astronauts to the ISS.
With the advent of SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, Russia faces a sizeable dent in income. A seat in the Soyuz costs NASA around $80 million (roughly Rs. 580 crores).
Musk, who has said he wants to colonise Mars, has also invested billions into artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.
