This question is currently being actively discussed, but it is important to separate real facts from propaganda manipulations to understand what actually happened.
1. Was Errol Musk in Moscow?
Errol Musk (Elon's father) did indeed visit Moscow during this period. He came as a guest to one of the technology forums. Unlike his son, Errol has made ambiguous statements in recent years, expressing sympathy for the Russian leadership, which made him a "welcome guest" for the Kremlin.
2. Was he in service together with Putin?
This statement contains part of the truth, but with important nuances:
Errol Musk indeed attended the Easter service at the 'Cathedral of Christ the Savior'.
Vladimir Putin traditionally visits this cathedral on Easter.
Manipulation: Photos and videos that were spread by Russian media often created the impression that they were standing together or arrived together. In reality, Putin was in a specially fenced area with increased security (as is always the case for safety reasons), while Errol Musk was in the area for honored guests.
3. Why does this look like a 'planned action'?
For Russian propaganda, the presence of the father of the richest man in the world at a religious holiday together with a dictator is a huge informational victory.
They use this to show: 'Look, even the Musk family is with us'.
There were indeed 'leaked' shots online where Errol Musk is sitting on a chair (due to his advanced age) in the cathedral, while others are standing, which highlighted his status as a special guest.
What does Elon Musk say about this?
This is the most important point. Elon Musk has repeatedly stated that he has not communicated with his father for many years, considers his father a person with a 'difficult character', and often publicly disavows his actions. Errol's actions are his personal initiative, which has nothing to do with either SpaceX, Tesla, or Elon himself.
The news about Errol Musk being in the same cathedral as Putin is not a fake. However, the presentation of this news as a 'friendly visit of the Musk family to Putin' is pure propaganda.
