Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Kirill Dmitriev, a Russian presidential aide and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, urged Elon Musk to begin construction on a 70-mile underwater tunnel linking Russia and the United States. Dmitriev first proposed the project in October 2025, describing it as a link that would spur resource exploration, create jobs, and boost both economies. The appeal came after Elon Musk posted a remark following Donald Trump's call for Ukraine to elect a new president.
