He discussed this on his blog.
According to the expert, President Zelensky gave this interview to Friedman specifically and personally for Elon Musk, similar to how he once wrote a Victory Plan for Trump even before his election, in order to sway him towards Ukraine.
“Because President Zelensky understands that Elon Musk is a person who could bring us a significant amount of trouble, considering his influence and the fact that Elon Musk is currently categorically against us, supporting Putin and Russia for reasons unknown to us. Yes, hotheads like Sheitelman assert that he is a Russian spy. But spies can be re-recruited,” emphasizes Mikhail Sheitelman.
Moreover, he notes, Elon Musk is an ideologue; he has higher goals, and in this interview, Zelensky explained to him that the future lies with Ukraine, not Russia with Putin. According to the expert, Zelensky explained to Musk, not for the American average person, that Putin is deaf, with an empty backside, a mammoth, and generally Voldemort.
“The main goal of Zelensky's interview with Friedman is ultimately to re-recruit Elon Musk to our side. And he explicitly states this, mentioning in the same interview that he would like Musk to be on our side as much as possible,” asserts Mikhail Sheitelman.
As reported by Politeka, Bortnik stated that the situation is unfortunately likely moving more towards escalation than the end of the war.
