Russian officials mocked the feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, offering to protect the Tesla CEO, who once issued a “single combat” challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine.

A falling out between the White House and Musk, a senior adviser and close friend to Trump for months, erupted on Thursday over the president’s sweeping “big, beautiful” tax cuts bill. The battle led former top Trump aide Steve Bannon to call for Musk’s arrest or deportation , citing allegations that he is an illegal immigrant.
