Elon Musk has caused a wave of controversy after publishing a video on the “X” platform, where it shows how close the US and Russia are geographically close.
The muscle has distributed images showing that the two global superpowers are only 3.2 kilometers apart, separating from the Bering Strait.
Not all Americans know that the US and Russia are currently very close to each other: they are divided by only two miles (about 3.2 km) and are also linked”, Musk writes in his post.
The two states are separated from the Bering Strait, and to illustrate the proximity, Musk shows the two small islands Diomede, broadcast Periscope.
Little Diomedia, part of the United States, is home to one of the most isolated cities in the country, with a population of 80. Meanwhile, the Big Diomede, belonging to Russia, remains uninhabited except for military personnel.
Learn how Diomed becomes the nearest American city to Russia, separated from just two miles of water. During winter this water freezes, creating an ice bridge between the two countries, allowing a rare opportunity to cross the border from the ground.

Musk's full mail:
And there's one of the most isolated cities, Diomede, with only 82 residents. On the other hand, Diomede Island belongs to Russia and is uninhabited, with the presence of a military personnel. ”
Another interesting fact is that this border represents the nearest point between the two superpowers, and during the winter, when the sea freezes, crossing from one place to another becomes possible through the icy earth. Thus, it is located in an area where it is often said that you can cross the border from the earth.
Date line and “Ruve to”
Another intriguing element is that the international date line runs between the two islands. This creates a 21-hour difference: when you cross the US border in Russia, you will feel “past”, while going the opposite direction, you will feel “in the future”.
