Elon Musk calls for ‘more communication’ between Russia, US

Tesla CEO also says electric vehicle manufacturer is close to establishing a presence in Russia.

Elon Musk has called for greater dialogue between Washington and Moscow, with ties between the pair currently languishing at post-Cold War lows. “There is a lot of talent and energy in Russia and I think there should be more dialogue and communication between Russia and the United States,” the Tesla CEO said on Friday, via video link at a forum on Russian education in Moscow. He also said his electric vehicle company was close to establishing a presence in Russia and was looking at whether it could open factories there.
