From Moscow, Errol Musk criticizes the EU and denounces a 'loss of direction'

Errol Musk, father of Elon Musk, criticized the EU from Moscow on June 6, 2026, on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, calling it a 'fake' institution disconnected from citizens. He contested Western sanctions against Russia, seeing them as jealousy of the Russian model. This is not his first pro-Kremlin appearance: he participated in a forum with Alexander Dugin in 2025 and negotiated the relocation of Afrikaner farmers to Russia. These statements are sensitive due to his son Elon Musk's role in Starlink and former position at DOGE.
