Elon Musk Challenges Putin To Single Combat – With Ukraine As The Prize

While billionaire Elon Musk wasn’t born in the Old West or Medieval Europe, the renaissance man apparently had those times and places in mind when he challenged Russia’s Vladimir Putin to single combat.

The spoils in this case? Not a princess being held hostage or honor, but the winner deciding on the fate of Ukraine.

Musk’s Aaron Burr moment was followed up with other comments regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine and quotes from the Shakespearian play “Macbeth.”

I hereby challenge
Владимир Путин
to single combat

Stakes are Україна

Poking The Russian Bear?

After issuing the challenge, Musk then tagged the official Twitter account of the Kremlin to ask if Putin would agree to the match up. 

Вы согласны на этот бой? @KremlinRussia_E

While very few would argue that, in order to amass the amount of wealth that Musk has one must be willing to take a few risks, if he were born at any earlier period the challenge might be taken seriously.

And his opponent is a blackbelt in Judo, who used to run the KGB. 

The fight may not be an easy one for Musk.

To cap it off, Musk quoted from ‘Macbeth’ a line from when the three witches warn of the Macbeth’s arrival and descent into monsterdom and infamy: ‘By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.’ 

By the pricking of my thumbs …

Some Recent Musk Greatest Hits

For all of his eccentric quirks, Elon Musk is in many instances at least intellectually honest. 

Earlier this month he implored American leaders to ramp up oil production – putting his adopted country ahead of his electric car company.

Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately.

Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 5, 2022

Musk was honest enough to realize that currently, gas and oil power civilization.

Increased oil & gas production in the short term is critical or people around the world will be placed under great duress.

This is not a question of money, it is a question of having enough energy to power civilization.

Musk took to Twitter to correct President Joe Biden for not mentioning Tesla when speaking about electric cars during the State of the Union speech earlier this month.

Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined

When Musk tweeted a comparison of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his treatment of protesters in the Freedom Convoy to something Hitler might have done, former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum responded to Musk.

Frum having apparently forgotten that he frequently compared Donald Trump to Hitler.

Musk called out Frum for his massive hypocrisy:

Hypocritical megadouche!

Elon Musk might be long on intellectual honesty and common sense. But it remains to be seen who would come out the winner in a duel with Vladimir Putin.

Though knowing Musk, he may very well have some sort of secret technology that could keep him safe in a clash.
