Musk, who is unpopular in many circles, advised the Ukrainians to give in to Russia's demands.
Several Kremlin officials took to the Telegram messaging app to praise Musk for his comments after he posted a controversial poll on the social media site.
According to the independent Russian news site Meduza, a Telegram update posted by the Russian presidential Press Secretary said that Musk was "unlike professional diplomats."
"Musk is trying to find a way to reach peace," Peskov said. Meeting Russia's conditions is necessary to reach peace.
The Telegram post was written by the former Russian president and prime minister.
Well done, Musk, it must be said, wrote the deputy head of Russia's security council. He should be promoted to the next rank. He could say in his next post thatUkraine is an artificial state.
The Telegram hubbub was added to by another Dmitry.
The head of the Russian space agency joked in his post that Musk's change of heart regarding Ukraine may have been influenced by Anna Kikina, the Russian space agency's single female active service cosmonaut who is slated to hitch a ride to the International Space Station.
"That's what a Russian woman has done to the American, that's what I wrote on my Telegram channel," he said.
It's weird to see Kremlin officials lauding Musk just six months after he said he wanted to fight Putin.
It's not all that surprising that these are all in response to him turningcoat on the Ukraine invasion.
Here's the craziest text messages that were just released in court.
