Musk said he was “totally serious” after one of his 77 million followers suggested the Tesla founder hadn’t thought his challenge through.
With the fate of Ukraine on the line, Elon Musk has challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a battle. Putin has been challenged to “single battle” by the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
Musk stated on Twitter, “I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat.”
I hereby challenge

Владимир Путин
to single combat
Stakes are Україна
Ukraine, according to the tech billionaire, is at risk.
The world’s wealthiest billionaire then challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin if he “agrees to this conflict” in a second tweet.
Вы согласны на этот бой? @KremlinRussia_E

“Do you consent to this fight?” Mr Musk tweeted in Cyrillic, tagging the official Twitter handle of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Musk responded to a comment from one of his 77 million Twitter followers, saying he was “totally serious” about his challenge.
I am absolutely serious

The Kremlin remained silent for the time being.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met earlier this month to discuss “potential space initiatives.”
“Talked to Elon Musk,” Mr Zelensky stated in a tweet. I appreciate his comments and actions in support of Ukraine. We’ll get another round of Starlink systems for devastated cities next week. Possible space initiatives were discussed. But after the conflict, I’ll talk about it.”
Talked to @elonmusk. I’m grateful to him for supporting Ukraine with words and deeds. Next week we will receive another batch of Starlink systems for destroyed cities. Discussed possible space projects 🚀. But I’ll talk about this after the war.

Elon Musk has also supplied internet access to Ukraine after the country’s network was interrupted by Russia’s military incursion. After Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister, requested assistance, Tesla’s Starlink internet terminals were transported to the war-torn region.
“While you want to colonise Mars, Russia tries to occupy Ukraine,” Mr Fedorov remarked in a tweet. Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civilians as your rockets successfully land from space. We request that you give Starlink stations to Ukraine.”
@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.
— Mykhailo Fedorov (@FedorovMykhailo) February 26, 2022
Mr Fedorov posted a photo of the truck and a thank you message to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk when the Starlink internet terminals arrived in Ukraine.
Earlier this year, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk donated 50 satellite terminals to help restore internet in Tonga.
