Elon Musk Requests Fist Fight with Vlad Putin with Ukraine as The Prize
Sometimes, in some places, the circus never leaves town.
Such is often the case with Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire behind brands like Tesla and SpaceX. Musk, who can makes a seismic shift in the value of a digital currency with just a few emojis and a Twitter account, now thinks that he can solve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine…by getting into a fist fight with Vladimir Putin.
“I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat. Stakes are Ukraine,” said Musk.

Elon was quick to double down.
When one of Musk’s 77 million followers wrote that the Tesla founder might not have thought his challenge through, Musk said he was “absolutely serious.”
“If Putin could so easily humiliate the west, then he would accept the challenge. But he will not,” he added.
While we would normally bet against any such fight taking place, the recent bizarre behavior of Vladimir Putin certainly has us wondering.
