Elon Musk has accepted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s challenge to fight. The feud began when Musk accused Maduro of manipulating the results of the Venezuelan national elections, in which Maduro secured victory. Maduro alleged that Musk had been behind cyberattacks against Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE).
The situation escalated when President Maduro publicly challenged Musk to a physical fight. Social media creates a virtual reality, and who controls it? Our new archenemy is the famous Elon Musk.
Do you want to fight? Let’s do it. Elon Musk, I’m ready.
I’m not afraid of you, Elon Musk. Let’s fight wherever you want,” Maduro said.
Musk’s feud with President Maduro
Musk responded to Maduro’s challenge on social media platform X, saying, “I’m coming for you, Maduro! I will carry you to Gitmo on a donkey.” He continued to mock Maduro in a series of posts, contrasting a potential fight with Maduro to one with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, suggesting it would be a more serious confrontation. “Maduro is a big guy and probably knows how to fight, so this would be a real fight. Zuck is a little fellow, so that would be a short fight, lol,” Musk commented.
Musk further cemented his readiness for the challenge, adding, “Someone tells Maduro I’ll fight him anytime, anywhere. In fact, tell him to bring his favorite donkey too.”
Despite the banter, it remains uncertain whether the highly publicized challenge will result in a fight between the tech mogul and the Venezuelan president. The world watches in anticipation to see how this unusual saga unfolds.
