The Kremlin on Friday denied a Wall Street Journal report about regular contacts between Elon Musk and President Vladimir Putin.

"No, this is not true," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. Peskov said that Putin had one contact with Musk — the world's richest man — and it was before 2022.

The Journal said Musk had been in regular contact with Putin since late 2022. Peskov said the report was absolutely false.
