Fox News
Elon Musk joined in on President-elect Trump's first official phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday, as confirmed by Fox News.
Details of Musk's exact role were not disclosed according to reporting from Axios, though sources reported Musk expressed his intent to continue supporting Ukraine through his Starlink satellite network—a service critical to Ukraine's wartime communications.

Throughout his campaign, Trump voiced skepticism about continued U.S. aid to Ukraine and emphasized a fast resolution to its conflict with Russia, which raised concerns across Europe. Trump assured Zelenskyy of support on the 25-minute call, but did not provide specifics on either policies or military aid. Axios first reported Musk's presence on the call, and Musk has not yet given comment.
According to sources, Zelenskyy interpreted both the call's timing and Trump’s reassurances as a good sign. Trump and his advisers have privately conveyed more supportive messages about Ukraine than the campaign suggested.
