SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted, “I challenge Vladimir Putin to fight a man-to-man with me over Ukraine,” without specifying what form this duel would take.
And Musk sent another message in Russian to the official Kremlin account on Twitter, in which he said: “Do you accept this fight?”
In response to the comment of a user who did not understand this invitation, Musk confirmed that he was “absolutely serious” about what he said, according to what Agence France-Presse reported.
The South African-born billionaire supported Kyiv shortly after the Russian invasion began, and tweeted earlier this month, “Hold on, Ukraine,” at the same time, sending a message of “friendship to the great Russian people who do not want war.”
Also, he responded to a request for help from a Ukrainian official by activating the satellite Internet service “Starlink” in Ukraine, and sending equipment there to help provide Internet service to areas that have been subjected to Russian military attacks.
The billionaire used to stir controversy on his Twitter account, which is followed by more than 77 million accounts. In February, Musk accused the stock exchange supervisory body, which imposed sanctions on him in previous years, of seeking to silence his freedom of expression.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau likened the late Nazi leader “Adolf Hitler”, in a letter of support to opponents of government health restrictions, before this post was deleted.
