The conference, entitled The Future 2050 Forum, is organized by Konstantin Malofeev – an influential ultranationalist oligarch, close to the Kremlin and subject to Western sanctions – and seems to mark the most recent Moscow's attempt to court Western personalities, notes The Guardian.
Other foreign guests include American economist Jeffrey Sachs and British Matthew Groves, former advisor to East Surrey, whom the organizers erroneously describe as “deputy leader of the conservative group”.
Several high-ranking Russian officials, including Sergei Lavrov, Russian long-lasting Foreign Minister, and Sergei Mironov, a veteran politician, who adopted a two-year-old child taken by Moscow from a Ukrainian orphanin, attend the conference.
According to the organizers, the event will approach topics as “Foreign policy and national priorities”, “Culture and traditional values“And a round table entitled”Maga in Russia ”.
Considered the marginal characters, Malofeev and the Russian ultra -nationalist ideologue Aleksandr Dighin, who coorganize the conference, have gained an increasing influence in Moscow from the Russia's invasion in Ukraine and from the Aggressive Nationalist Vire. The two also worked on cultivating links with influential people from abroad who could contribute to the formation of public opinion in Donald Trump's America.
It is not clear whether all Western speakers will travel to Russia or participate through video conference. However, before the conference, Errol Musk was photographed in Moscow, where he minimized the dispute between his son Elon, the richest man in the world, and Trump, in an interview with the Russian press.
“You know that they were subjected to a huge stress for five months, give them a break“, Senior Musk said for the Russian newspaper Izvestia, controlled by the state.”They are very tired and stressed, so you can expect something like this ”he added. “Trump will defeat – he is the president, he was elected president. So, you know, Elon made a mistake, I think. But he is tired, he is stressed“, Explained Errol Musk.
Errol Musk also suggested that the dispute “It's just a small thing“And that”Tomorrow will be forgotten. “
The 79-year-old man previously expressed his admiration for Vladimir Putin, stating in an interview this year that his entire family is “somehow fascinated” by him.
Although Ukraine, especially through the Internet service through the Starlink mini-satellites, helped Elon Musk, became one of the most vocal support of Ukraine's support and seems to have had a few continuing discussions during the war, writes The Guardian.
