Elon Musk is the richest man on record, but he thinks Putin could be richer.
“How do you feel, being at a net worth of $260 billion roughly perceived as the richest person on earth?” Mathias Dpfner, the CEO of Insider’s parent company, Axel Springer, asked Musk during a recent interview.
“I do think that Putin is significantly richer than me,” Musk replied.
Some have speculated the Russian president may be the richest man in the world, with financier Bill Browder, testifying in 2017 that he believes Putin “has accumulated $200 billion of ill-gotten gains.”
In Musk’s discussion with Dpfner of Putin’s invasion, the Tesla CEO said it is imperative that Putin be stopped.
“I think the American government has done more than people may realize. But it is just not been very public. But it is important to do something serious. We cannot let Putin take over Ukraine. This is crazy,” Musk said.
