'Engineer, businessman, gemstone trader' Errol Musk arrived in Moscow to participate in the 'Future Forum 2050', which is held by the 'Tsargrad' institute under the leadership of the ultra-conservative philosopher, ideologist of the so-called 'Russian world' Alexander Dugin. One of the forum's topics is declared as 'Russian Cosmos. The Race for Mars'. Another is 'The Battle for Souls and Minds. The Ideology of Sovereign Russia'.
'I am eagerly looking forward to meeting everyone. As far as I know, Russians are some of the smartest people on the planet. It would be madness not to ask their opinion on various issues,' Errol Musk is quoted by the 'Tsargrad' TV channel.
As stated on the forum's website, along with Musk, the speakers will include Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, TV presenter Ekaterina Andreeva, and also Dmitry Simes, who was charged last year in the USA with sanctions violations and money laundering. If convicted, he and his wife face up to 60 years each.
In April, in an interview with the 'Russian BBC Service'* Elon Musk's father said that his family is 'definitely somewhat admiring of Mr. Putin'. According to Musk's father, not only he thinks so, but also his son.
