Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has challenged Vladimir Putin to a “single combat” fight, with the winner taking Ukraine. The challenge was issued in a social media frenzy early Monday that sparked mockery, with posters implying that Musk was tweeting while inebriated.
Following up on his physical challenge of the KGB-trained Russian strongman, the 50-year-old multibillionaire sent a direct tweet to the Kremlin, asking whether they would consent to a battle.
A meme picturing a druglord character from the show Narcos with the caption “Netflix waiting for the war to end to make a movie about a black Ukraine guy who falls in love with a transgender Russian soldier.” was among Musk’s strange tweets.
