Elon Musk challenges Vladimir Putin to a fight on Twitter
Elon Musk took to his Twitter page to challenge the President of Russia to a fight.
Elon wrote a tweet in English and Russian to challenge Putin to single combat with the stakes being Ukraine, “I hereby challenge Владимир Путин to single combat Stakes are Україна.”
Elon insisted that he was not trolling in the new tweets.
Some fans cautioned Elon against combat. They note that while Elon has engineering skills, Vladimir trained extensively with the KGB and had judo skills.
Another fan compared the CEO and leader’s respective sizes and ages; Elon is 19 years younger and 15 centimeters taller. The user wrote, “The fight would be over in 10 seconds. It would just depend on how much damage Elon would want to do how fast. Nothing else. Elon is also 19 years younger.”
Elon responded favorably to this comparison.
Elon also tagged the Kremlin in the tweets to ensure they got to the proper people. There has been no response from the Kremlin yet.
Elon Musk welcomed a secret child with Grimes in December
Elon Musk and Grimes made headlines this month. The singer announced that she and Elon welcomed a second child together. The Canadian singer was conducting an interview with Vanity Fair when the interviewer heard a baby crying. The baby, known as baby Y, was revealed to the interviewer.
The child, a daughter, was welcomed via a surrogate in December. Their first son, X Æ A-XII, was born on May 4, 2020.
In a new Vanity Fair article, Grimes said, “There’s no real word for it. I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. We live in separate houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time…. We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it.”
The daughter was Elon’s seventh child overall and second child with Grimes.
