In a follow-up tweet, Elon Musk then posted a whole message in Russian, saying that:
“Do you agree to this fight?”
Also tagging the Kremlin’s official English language Twitter account. He also then replied to another Twitter user who suggested that the Russian president would easily win any fight after Elon Musk challenges Vladimir Putin into single combat:
“If Putin could so easily humiliate the west, then he would accept the challenge. But he will not.”

Elon Musk challenges Vladimir Putin with his tweets
Elon Musk has been a prominent participant in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, both on his Twitter feed and through his business enterprises. He’s taunted Russian officials on social media, as well as given Ukraine with Starlink space internet equipment.
After a long series of odd tweets by Musk throughout the morning, the tweet mentioned above appeared. In the hour before that tweet, he composed “By the pricking of my thumbs,” an apparent allusion to Macbeth – a line that is followed by “something wicked comes.”
He added, “There is a beauty to the biological substrate.” shortly before that. It was not clear what he meant, but the term appears in neuroscience and psychology, which are fields in which Elon Musk has an interest through his investment firm Neuralink.
Elon Musk’s tweets have previously gotten him and his businesses into hot water. For the site, Elon Musk has said that he “was always crazy,” and that he saw it as a “war zone.” On one occasion, for example, he stated that “Tesla stock price is too high imo”, which resulted in a $14 billion loss in the company’s value.
The controversial tweets have resulted in a slew of legal difficulties, including one filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
