Musk shared a post on platform X that quoted Zelensky's words and added his own comment. "He sense of humor is amazing," he wrote, referring to the President of Ukraine.

Musk mocked Zelensky. Trump gave him an important role
Elon Musk strongly supports Donald Trump and invested millions of dollars in his election campaign. In the new administration, he is set to take on the role of head of the new "Department of State Efficiency."
According to earlier announcements, this body's task is to "dismantle bureaucracy" and reduce federal budget spending by at least $2 trillion.
