Iran’s foreign ministry denied that a meeting was held between the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations and Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest person and close ally of US President-elect Donald Trump,

The official said he had been informed that the discussion covered a variety of topics, most notably Iran’s nuclear program, its support for anti-Israel groups throughout the Middle East and prospects for improved relations with the United States.

Elon Musk recently met with Iran's ambassador to the U.N., Amir Saeid Iravani, according to two sources familiar with the meeting. The meeting took place at the ambassador's residence in New York. There's no indication that President-elect Donald Trump's national security transition team was aware of the meeting.
