Elon Musk’s father, Errol, described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “very stable and pleasant man” at a nationalist event in Moscow, according to the UK newspaper The Times.
The Times wrote on Monday that Musk Sr had attended the Forum of the Future 2050 event, scheduled to run on Monday and Tuesday, along with high-profile US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and the leader of the Workers Party of Britain, George Galloway.

Addressing the forum, Errol Musk hailed Putin’s leadership qualities and slammed Western “fake media” for propagating what he said was “complete nonsense” about Russia being an enemy to the West.
Musk played down his son’s recent feud with Donald Trump, excusing the Tesla CEO and US president as having been “under a lot of stress for five months.” He admitted, however, that the world’s richest man had “made a mistake” and that Trump would prevail.
‘Putin’s brain?’
Also among the attendees were Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, and Dmitry Medvedev, a former president now serving as a senior security official.
Lavrov told attendees he is in no doubt that the U.K. is assisting Ukraine in “terrorist attacks” and described the Ukraine war as “a battle between good and evil” that Russia would win, The Times reported.
The Forum of the Future 2050 is organized by the Tsargrad Institute, headed by Alexander Dugin, an ultranationalist writer and political theorist often referred to in the media as “Putin’s brain,” though others dispute the extent of his influence in the Kremlin. The Times said his ideas are gaining traction within the US Republican party.
