Editing to add an excerpt from the Bloomberg article:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-14/elon-musk-challenges-vladimir-putin-to-single-combat-for-ukraine
With Mr Putins name written in Russian and Ukraine written in Ukrainian, the Tesla chief executive tweeted: I hereby challenge (Vladimir Putin) to single combat.
Stakes are (Ukraine).
Mr Musk tagged the Kremlin in a follow-up tweet.
Do you agree to this fight? he asked in Russian.

What an ass. LOOK AT ME, as if he needs more attention. If it is true he needs more attention then we are in a mess.
People are dying and a country is fighting for it's life and Musk uses it for attention. I guess this should not be a surprise but it certainly is lower than even I thought he would go.

(2,787 posts)I guess he thinks that it makes him look brave to challenge Putin to something he knows Putin would never agree to. Even if this could be settled through single combat, why on earth would the Ukrainian people want Elon Musk to fight Putin for them? When they could have Oleksandr Usyk, one of the Klitschko brothers or Vasily Lomachenko? Would seem like a no brainer to me.
