It's ridiculous to state that Elon praised Medvedev. Medvedev made some insane and absurd predictions for 2023 and Elon replied with "Epic thread!!". It was epic because how insane it was.

Elon clarified it later with "Those are definitely the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, while also showing astonishing lack of awareness of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy."

I think it is entirely reasonable to not give Musk the benefit of the doubt here. He has previously made some comments that were very friendly to Russia, and calling something "epic" is reasonable to interpret as a positive endorsement. It's entirely possible that Musk is just trolling here, but that is not an excuse and should not shield him from criticism for this comment.

To me it's very obvious, but if you aren't familiar with Elon I guess it's possible to misinterpret it.

The UK rejoins EU and it falls apart all in 2023 - that is epic. There’s negative chance it happens, I can’t take it as “Elon think this will happen”
