In a twitter post, the richest man in the world and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk challenged the Russian president Vladimir Putin to a fight saying, “I hereby challenge ???????? ????? to single combat. Stakes are ???????” which translates as “I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to a single combat. Stakes are Ukraine.

In response to Elon Musk’s challenge, according to Interesting Engineering, Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Chechen Republic of Russia posted on Telegram advising Elon Musk to not measure his strength against that of president Putin. In the message of the head of Chechen Republic of Russia which Elon Musk posted alongside its translation, Ramzan Kadyrov advised Elon Musk to take training which will prepare him to take a punch and also called Elon Musk “Elona”, which according to Interesting Engineering, is a feminine name.

It is in response to this message that Elon Musk said he will agree to fight Putin with his only his left hand: “Thank you for the offer, but such excellent training would give me too much of an advantage. If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only my left hand and I am not even left-handed. Elona” Note that Elon Musk now signed his post with the name “Elona” and also changed his Twitter display name to “Elona Musk” perhaps accepting the name that Ramzan Kadyrov gave him.

When Elon Musk challenged president Putin to a single combat, a concerned Twitter user asked Elon Musk, “Did you think this through? Or Am I missing something?” Elon Musk replied, “I am absolutely serious”
