So I didn’t know how to respond to your question other than saying, again, that the clip is taken out of context. It bothered me though because I also wanted to know.
Well, it turns out the streams from the 1+1 TV channel are on YouTube, including the inauguration day stream. Of course, I didn’t want to watch 5 hours of it but the clip in the OP thankfully has a timestamp: 21:55. And, what a surprise, if you go to that timestamp in the YouTube video (around 3:10), there is no such discussion about Elon Musk taking place. Instead it’s an interview with a correspondent on site:
Now, there are multiple channels under the 1+1 Media Group control but the decorations are the same in the OP clip and the YouTube stream and the top left corner channel title is 1+1 Marathon, which is a specific and unique TV channel. Coupled with the fact that no Ukrainian news outlets mention anyone saying anything like in the clip, I’d now say that not only the clip is out of context but also likely fake.
Yes, this is actually what they said. @gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net is right though, it’s taken out of context.
Is it a joke based on the portrayal by Russia?
