He was not part of a substantive conversation between the two leaders, the person said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Neither Zelenskyy nor Trump had previously disclosed that Musk was on the call. Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/11\/08\/musk-trump-zelensky-ukraine-call\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first reported<\/a> his participation, which was confirmed by other outlets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump transition team officials declined requests for comment Friday. Neither Musk nor the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, D.C., immediately responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Zelenskyy on Wednesday described his call with Trump as &#8220;excellent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;We agreed to maintain close dialogue and advance our cooperation,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZelenskyyUa\/status\/1854289413246705695\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zelenskyy continued <\/a>in a post on X. &#8220;Strong and unwavering U.S. leadership is vital for the world and for a just peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On Saturday, a source in Zelenskyy&#8217;s office confirmed that Musk joined the phone call, saying that Musk was not &#8220;directly on the call,&#8221; and did not participate for the entire conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;President Trump was likely near Musk and at some point handed him the phone,&#8221; the source said. &#8220;That\u2019s not the same as being directly on the call. President Zelensky thanked Musk for the Starlink. They spoke briefly.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;Overall, Zelenskyy greeted Trump, and they had a very warm conversation,&#8221; the source added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/05\/11\/politics\/transcript-cnn-town-hall-trump\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/05\/11\/politics\/transcript-cnn-town-hall-trump\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed<\/a> that he could have the war &#8220;settled&#8221; in one day, asserting that if he became president-elect, &#8220;I\u2019ll get it done before even becoming president.&#8221; He did not lay out a plan for doing so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">During Trump&#8217;s lone debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump refused to say whether he wanted Ukraine, a U.S. ally, to win the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;I think it\u2019s in the U.S. best interest to get this war finished and just get it done, all right,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Negotiate a deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vice President-elect JD Vance has<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/congress\/jd-vance-says-ukraine-cede-land-cut-deal-putin-end-war-rcna129195\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> also suggested<\/a> that Ukraine should be ready to give up some of its territory to end the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Musk has also had phone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. The conversations were first reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/russia\/musk-putin-secret-conversations-37e1c187\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Near the start of the war, after Russia invaded, Musk helped provide internet support for Ukraine. Emergency Starlink receivers played a key role in helping Ukrainians communicate. Starlink systems are a service that is part of SpaceX, which Musk owns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">But he has also angered Ukrainians for suggesting the country give up some of its territory to Russia.
