Tesla and X owner Elon Musk played a key role in securing the release of Cecilia Sala, the Italian journalist who was arrested in Iran last month, according to reports.
Musk used a personal connection to Iran's ambassador to the UN to facilitate the release of Sala, 29, who was arrested last month while reporting in Tehran and held in solitary confinement in Evin prison, the New York Times (NYT) reported on Thursday.

Is this why Trump has him around? His global political connections/corruption.
Which makes Elon sound more like the patsy delivering a ransom note.

Great. More fodder for his ego.

I too wish the journalist would have stayed in Iranian prison just so that it wouldn't benefit Elon Musk in any way.

Hmm, this couldn't have anything to do with his pending Starlink deal with Italy? 🤔
