Musk and Russia burnt bridges a long while back when they screwed him and made fun of him when he was trying to first start doing space. He got fed up and in sentiment along the lines of "fuck you, I'll do it myself" decided to go make his own rockets instead.
I strongly doubt he is interested in being polite to Russian rocket industry.

Russians: No, the price is now $21 million for 1 ICBM. You don't have that kind of money? You can't play with the big boys. Elon: on the plane ride home How hard can it be to build a rocket? The Russians also had a salvage tug off the Space Coast leading up to the CR3 resupply mission (it was the most powerful salvage tug in the world at its commissioning). Take that for what its worth.
