Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, claims that his companies are facing inflationary pressures in raw materials and logistics.

"What are your thoughts on the likely inflation rate over the next few years?" Musk asked on Twitter, adding, "Tesla & SpaceX are seeing significant recent inflation pressure in raw materials & logistics."

The billionaire stated that his companies are not alone in this regard and posted a link to a Financial Times article published in early March, which stated that the S&P GSCI index (formerly the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index - a broad barometer for the price of global raw materials and a leading measure of general price movements and inflation in the global economy) was at its highest level since 2008 and was on track for the sharpest rise in more than 50 years.

Sanctions imposed on Russia as a result of its military operation in Ukraine have had an impact on oil and gas prices. It is worth mentioning that Russia is one of the world's major energy suppliers.

Earlier this month, French economist Jacques Sapir, who heads the EHESS School in Paris, told Sputnik that volatile European markets are on the verge of failure and inflation, though panic is not yet visible. Sapir predicted a "spectacular" increase in raw material prices because the supply is largely Russian.
