Elon Musk could make his fighting debut after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called him out for a fight.
The President has just won the election with 51 percent of the vote. However, the results have not gone down well, with many people taking to the streets. This was after pre-polling suggested that Edmundo Gonzalez, the opposition candidate, had around double the support he eventually received. This raised doubts about the legitimacy of the elections.
Maduro Reacts
People have protested since then by breaking statues of former President Hugo Chavez and by ripping images of Maduro. Musk reacted to the events by sharing videos of the protests, while Maduro responded to the X owner after suggestions Elon wanted to invade the country with rockets. Maduro has thrown down the gauntlet by challenging Musk to a fight.
“Elon Musk, you are desperate. You went off the rails. Control yourself, or you will fail just like these right-wing-led all-American politicians. Elon Musk, whoever messes with me dries up. Whoever messes with Venezuela dries up, Elon Musk. You want to fight? Let’s have it, Elon Musk. I am ready. I am the son of Bolivar and Chavez. I am not afraid of you, Elon Musk. Let’s go at it, wherever you want, as we say in Caracas in the neighborhoods. If you want it, I want it, Elon Musk. Just say where,” Maduro said
Musk Vs. Zuck
Musk has reacted by agreeing to fight, but this is unlikely for various reasons. He had been linked with a fight against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Talks over a fight emerged once rumors that Zuck would make a rival to X which came in the form of Threads. Dana White even suggested that an MMA fight could happen at the Colosseum in Rome. Zuckerberg and Musk began training. However, the fight did not happen, and both men blamed each other.
“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious, and it’s time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead,” Zuck
“Fight Recap: I joked on X about fighting Zuck. Zuck then said ‘SEND ME LOCATION.’ Italy graciously offered a Colosseum, Zuck declined. I suggested his home as a ‘safe space.’ Tragically, he was ahem ‘travelling.’ Is there anywhere he will fight?” Musk
Musk Agrees
Musk also challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin in response to the Russia-Ukraine war. Musk provided Ukraine with his Starlink satellites so that the Wi-Fi would remain. Now, Musk has called on the President to resign if he came out victorious.
“Maduro is a big guy himself and probably knows how to fight, so this would be a real fight. Zuck is a little fella, so that would be a short fight lol. If I win, he resigns as dictator of Venezuela. If he wins, I give him a free ride to Mars,” Musk stated
