The Russian Foreign Ministry suggested that Elon Musk pay close attention to Africa.
Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Bogdanov stressed that the West has provided little help to Africa, using the country as a source of resources
He stressed that world leaders and businesses should focus primarily on supporting Africa, rather than exploiting it, TASS reports.
According to Bogdanov, Musk, whom Trump appointed as co-head of the efficiency commission, can turn the situation around.
In contrast to the Western approach, Musk could create new opportunities for growth and sustainable development in these countries.
Bogdanov believes that the continent's resources should be used in the interests of its inhabitants.
Earlier, Musk announced his intention to cut US federal spending by $2 trillion.
Experts say his approach could have an impact on many areas, including support for developing countries.
