Kremlin spokesman Peskov said talks would be focused on “restoring the entire range of U.S.-Russian relations" as well as Ukraine.

Rumors have been swirling that Elon Musk may donate $100 million to Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party - in a small scoop, I report Musk has just incorporated X. AI London Ltd, showing he is 'reaching across the pond' on multiple fronts, my latest:
newstracs.com/elon-musk-may-…
Last week Musk met with Nigel Farage and Reform’s party treasurer Nick Candy at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

Filings on UK Companies House show that this month Musk also incorporated X . AI London Ltd

xAI has raised nearly $12 billion and is valued at $50 billion
newstracs.com/elon-musk-may-…
Earlier this year I reported the first $6bil funding round for xAI included $400 million from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud and Kingdom Holding (per June 2024 financial statement). That amount has likely increased with the latest financing round.
