Billionaire Elon Musk has challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “single combat”, with the “stakes” being Ukraine.

With Mr Putin’s name written in Russian and Ukraine written in Ukrainian, the Tesla chief executive tweeted: “I hereby challenge (Vladimir Putin) to single combat.

“Stakes are (Ukraine).”

Mr Musk tagged the Kremlin in a follow-up tweet.

“Do you agree to this fight?” he asked in Russian.

1. Musk needs mental health help. He's a psycho. (Nt)

[scarletlib]

13. My thoughts exactly.

12. Only a little?

[sarcasmo]

3. I don't know who is crazier, Musk, or Putin.

[Volaris]

18. Musk is nuts enough to get his ass straight up murdered by somebody

Who more than likley was trained how with their bare hands, so theres that..

[2naSalit]

4. Gee, I wonder what the people of Ukraine think about that.

What a loon.

5. JFC

he thinks this is a platter for him to make himself some jokes huh?

What an ass. LOOK AT ME, as if he needs more attention. If it is true he needs more attention then we are in a mess.

People are dying and a country is fighting for it's life and Musk uses it for attention. I guess this should not be a surprise but it certainly is lower than even I thought he would go.

6. I sure am glad someone's treating the situation with the

seriousness it deserves.

Surely, his DU butler will pop in to tell us how "jealous" we are.

[Chainfire]

7. Well, I will one-up him.

I challenge the whole Russian Army to a duel to the death with the world at stake. Take that Elon!

[dutch777]

8. I forget how this game is played. So Putin gets to pick the weapon of choice? Or just hand to hand

I hate to see Ukraine's future tied to anything Musk has a hand in but I almost wish Putin would say yes. Who gets the TV rights?

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. He needs to zip it.

This is not helpful.

[jcgoldie]

10. I'm sure Ukrainians will be delighted that Musk feels empowered to gamble with their country

What an entitled douchebag.

[Midnight Writer]

11. Well, I guess if William Shatner can't do it...

[niyad]

14. WTAF?... what is wrong with that clueless, arrogant, smug, entitled jerk?

[UTUSN]

15. He's going with the trend of going back to ancient warfare - single combat, plus

the Russian generals getting killed on the front lines!1

[iemanja]

16. "I alone can fix it"

That's what Musk sounds like.

[Corgigal]

17. Elon Musk

can’t believe everything isn’t always about Elon Musk.

These type of people are always a problem to humanity.

[standingtall]

19. That's stupid

I guess he thinks that it makes him look brave to challenge Putin to something he knows Putin would never agree to. Even if this could be settled through single combat, why on earth would the Ukrainian people want Elon Musk to fight Putin for them? When they could have Oleksandr Usyk, one of the Klitschko brothers or Vasily Lomachenko? Would seem like a no brainer to me.

20. I am thinking the KGB guy with judo training would take him, round 1 nt

[BlueIdaho]

21. Fucking lunatic.

Remind me never to buy any product this nutcase has control of.
