Billionaire businessman Elon Musk, 50, took to his official Twitter profile to challenge Russian President Vladimir Putin to a “fight” in which the winner would win Ukraine. However, Musk did not specify what the challenge would be.
“I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to one-on-one combat. The prize will be Ukraine,” wrote the founder of Tesla and SpaceX on Monday morning (14). “Do you agree with this fight?”, he added, tagging the profile of the Kremlin, the president’s Twitter account.
In previous tweets, Musk also complained about the price of commodities, impacted by the war in Ukraine. “Tesla and SpaceX are under pressure from inflation in raw materials and logistics. And we are not alone,” he wrote.
The billionaire’s name came to be among the most talked about topics on Twitter, and netizens criticized the businessman’s tweets. “Elon Musk’s tweets were solely responsible for me going from ‘probably buying a Tesla as my next car’ to ‘not driving a Tesla even if they gave me one for free’. What a monumental idiot that man is,” said one.
“Elon Musk is doing a great job reminding everyone that it’s not just Russian billionaires who need to be taken down,” said another. “Elon Musk, the richest person in the world with a net worth of over $200 billion, has challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a fight over Twitter. What’s at stake is Ukraine… The world has officially gone crazy “, added a third.
Recently, Grimes, 33, Musk’s ex-wife, inadvertently revealed that she had a second baby with the billionaire in secret. The news was discovered and announced by Vanity Fair magazine, which interviewed the singer at her home and heard a baby crying upstairs.
The reporter in question asked about the crying, since the first child – and, until then, the only one known to the public – was out of the house with his father. Grimes then took on the new member of the family. The singer revealed that the name of her daughter, born in December 2021 through a surrogate, is Exa Dark Sideræl, but that they call her “Y” (while their first child is called “X”).
