Elon Musk invited Putin to fight for Ukraine one on one
Tesla founder Elon Musk tweeted Russian President Vladimir Putin to fight for Ukraine, reports Dailymail.
"I challenge Vladimir Putin to a fight,” Musk tweeted on March 14, typing Putin’s name in Russian.
“One on one duel. The rate is Ukraine,” he added, writing the name of the country in Ukrainian.
Musk, 50, ended his challenge with a direct reference to the Kremlin.
“Do you agree to this fight?” he wrote, noting the Kremlin's official Twitter account.
Do you agree to this fight? @KremlinRussia_E

The South African-born billionaire who has been known in the past for his outlandish Twitter comments may be taking on more than he can take on the former head of the KGB.
Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin responded to Elon Musk, who had previously challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a duel, with an excerpt from Pushkin’s “The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda.”
“You, imp, are still young, you are weak to compete with me; It would just be a waste of time. Overtake my brother first,” Rogozin wrote on his Telegram channel, attaching a screenshot from Musk’s Twitter account.
The Russian president has a black belt in judo and is even a co-author of a book about the sport called Judo: History, Theory, Practice.
Putin, 69, became honorary president of the International Judo Federation in 2008 but was removed from that position due to the war with Ukraine.
Musk's bizarre challenge was part of a flurry of tweets he sent over three hours, including Shakespeare's oft-quoted line from Macbeth: "My finger itches, Something evil is hastening towards us."

In another tweet, he posted a meme of a character from a Netflix show sitting on a porch swing that reads: "Netflix is waiting for the end of the war to make a movie about a black guy from Ukraine who falls in love with a transgender Russian soldier."

Earlier on March 14, he also posted a cryptic message: "There is beauty in the biological substrate."
Musk tried to be a problem for Putin after the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, even providing Internet services to the war-torn country through his Starlink satellite service at the request of Ukrainian officials.
Musk, who is worth an estimated $218,9 billion, ridiculed Russian officials earlier this month after the head of their space program brushed aside U.S. sanctions against Moscow for starting a full-scale war with Ukraine.
“In such a situation, we cannot supply the United States with the best rocket engines in the world. Let them fly on something else, on their brooms, I don’t know what,” said Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Russian space agency, on state Russian television on March 3.
On the same day, Musk tweeted a link to the successful launch of SpaceX, followed by the words "American broomstick" and an American flag emoji.
As ForumDaily wrote earlier:
- Elon Musk supported Ukraine - SpaceX Starlink satellite internet service active in Ukraine, and more terminals will appear in the near future.
- Tesla continue to pay wagesemployees who decide to go to fight in Ukraine.
- American astronaut Scott Kelly actively and very effectively campaigns on his Twitter to counteract Russian propaganda and Dmitry Rogozin's unsubstantiated attacks.
