Few CEOs are as closely tied to President Donald Trump and his party as Musk, the world's richest person.

The Tesla CEO had also helped elect US President Donald Trump and spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help him win the 2024 presidential elections.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said earlier on Thursday that Starlink speed had not been restored for Ukraine, adding that he hoped for talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the coming days.

Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump discussed the Starlink decision in a call soon after the slowdown became public, while the president was campaigning last week, the report said.

Kyiv on Wednesday reported restrictions to the SpaceX-operated service, which it sees as crucial to fending off Moscow's invasion, shortly after Trump criticised Ukraine and urged it to stop targeting Russian oil refineries.

The row comes after Zelensky replied in the affirmative when asked if he felt "betrayed" after US President Donald Trump announced a diesel-supply deal with Moscow.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on US tech billionaire Elon Musk to restore Starlink, which Kyiv says has been slowed down.

The US leader has done his best to impress Xi, praising their close personal relationship. During business hours, the two leaders discussed tensions over Taiwan, trade, and artificial intelligence.

From safety researcher resignations to Dario Amodei's call for a slowdown, a rare consensus is emerging inside Silicon Valley. But Donald Trump wants the AI race to accelerate.

Trump and Elon Musk have moved from a bitter feud to a cautious alliance, with Musk planning to spend at least $100 million on Republican efforts in the 2026 midterms while maintaining a lower political profile.

When asked if Musk might donate SpaceX stock to 'Trump Accounts', the president responded, "Well, I think that he will do that."
