Bremmer said that conversation came before a series of Musk tweets urging Ukraine to seek a negotiated solution to the invasion by Russia and to cede Crimea for good.
Musk said in a tweet on Tuesday that he didn’t speak with Putin about the war,adding that a call would be “pointless,as there is currently no overlap between Russian and Ukrainian demands – it’s not even close”.
