Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, on Monday challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a fight, with nothing less than the fate of Ukraine, scene of Moscow’s brutal invasion, at stake.
“Do you accept this fight?” he added in Russian, directly addressing the official English-language Twitter account of the 69-year-old president.
When one of Musk’s 77 million followers wrote that the Tesla founder might not have thought his challenge through, Musk said he was “absolutely serious.” “If Putin could so easily humiliate the west, then he would accept the challenge. But he will not,” he added.There was no immediate reaction from the Kremlin, but Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov posted a mocking response on Telegram, saying: “Elon Musk: I wouldn’t advise you to test your strength against Putin.
Musk often raises eyebrows on Twitter. In February, he accused the US stock market regulator, which had imposed fines and restrictions on Musk and Tesla, of trying to muzzle his free speech. And he compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Adolf Hitler in a message supporting opponents of COVID restrictions. He later deleted the post.
