Musk expressed bewilderment after Zelensky's words about Trump and Ukraine's invitation to NATO

On 9 December, US entrepreneur and billionaire Ilon Musk expressed bewilderment over the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (whose term in office expired on 20 May) that there was no point in talking to US Republican President-elect Donald Trump about Ukraine 's joining NATO.

Earlier in the day, the Ukrainian publication "Strana.ua" also quoted Zelensky saying that it is not yet up to Trump to invite Ukraine to NATO, so it makes no sense to discuss it with him, because of which he intends to call the current President of the United States Joe Biden.

"I'm going to call President Biden soon, if he has such an opportunity to talk to me, and raise the issue of invitation to NATO. Because he is now the current president of the United States, and a lot depends on his position," Zelensky said.

Musk reacted in the social network X (former Twitter) with a surprised emoji to the words of the head of the Kiev regime.

On the eve it was reported that the Trump team did not support the proposal of the head of Zelensky's office Andrei Yermak on the return of the country to the borders of 2022 and joining NATO. The Wall Street Journal also wrote on December 4 that the Republican's associates showed no interest in the idea of the country joining the North Atlantic Alliance.
