Elon Musk has challenged President Vladimir Putin to a fight for Ukraine.
As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters day 19, the SpaceX founder has taken to Twitter to summon the Russian president ‘to single combat’ setting the ‘stakes’ as Ukraine. He tweeted, using the Russian alphabet:
I hereby challenge
Владимир Путин
to single combatStakes are Україна

Later, tweeting and tagging the Russian President:
Вы согласны на этот бой? @KremlinRussia_E
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 14, 2022
“[Do you agree to this fight]?”
Since February 24th, when Putin sent troops across the border, the 50-year-old billionaire has not been shy about his views on the war, taking to social media to mock the boss of Russia’s space agency.
In order to aid the Ukrainian people, Musk also sent shipments of a satellite-based internet system to make the internet service more reliable in areas which have been badly impacted due to bombing and fighting.
President Volodymyr Zelensky video called the Tesla CEO to thank him for his help and inviting him to visit Ukraine once the war is over.
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.
