"We will offer political asylum to Elon," Russian officials mock

Russia could offer political asylum to Elon Musk following the tech billionaire's public spat with President Donald Trump, a senior Russian lawmaker joked today.

"If he (needed asylum), of course, Russia can offer it," Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of Russia's State Duma for International Affairs, told state media TASS, CNN reports . 

Novikov stressed that Musk "will not need any political asylum," but said Russia could offer it if necessary.

Senior Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a former prime minister and president of Russia, joked that the Kremlin is prepared to help broker a "peace deal" between Musk and Trump.

In a call with reporters earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the dispute was an internal matter for the US and that the Kremlin is confident that Trump "will handle the situation himself."
