Elon Musk is being linked to Vladimir Putin’s supporter, Nailya Asker-Zade after they were photographed watching the World Cup final recently.

Following Argentina’s win against France, Asker-Zade took her thoughts to social media to say that Musk was right with his assessment of the highly-coveted match.

“Argentina beat France on penalties in the World Cup final. I agree with Elon Musk's assessment of the match: 'A duel in the desert. A better game could not have been wished for.’ I saw how he shared his emotions about what is happening on the field on his Twitter. I also have a lot of bright emotions — I will tell you soon,” she teased (via Radar Online).

Musk did not respond to Asker-Zade’s post, but there are whispers that the duo had a blast while watching the World Cup final together.

And what seemed like an innocent hangout turned grey because of Asker-Zade was previously sanctioned for allegedly supporting Russia amid the country’s war against Ukraine.

As a TV presenter, Asker-Zade was expected to remain impartial. However, some people who have been watching her reporting became convinced that she could be profiting from Russia and Putin over her positive coverage.

“As such, [Asker-Zade] is associated with two entities (VGTRK and Kostin), both of which are or have been involved in obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Government of Russia by carrying on business as a Government of Russia-affiliated entity,” a statement from the United Kingdom reads.

Meanwhile, Musk has also been making headlines due to some of his posts on Twitter, which he acquired for millions of dollars. After buying the social media platform, Musk announced that it was only a matter of time before he welcomes Donald Trump back.

The ex-POTUS was banned from Twitter after he was accused of inciting violence during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Following Musk’s recent tweets, a poll revealed that some Twitter users want him to be removed as the CEO of the platform.

On Dec. 19, Twitter asked users if they should put a policy in place that would prevent the creation or use of existing accounts for the main purpose of advertising other social media platforms.

Approximately 87 percent said no and only 13 percent said yes.

Musk also asked Twitter users if he should step down as the head of the platform and 57.5 percent of respondents said yes, according to GSM Arena.
