After Nicolas Maduro’s scathing attack and long verbal spat, Elon Musk has accepted a challenge to a live television fight with the Venezuelan President.
The tussle between Elon Musk and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has gone to an advanced level now. The Tesla chief had accused the Venezuelan leader of “major election fraud,” & called him ‘Dictator’.
Maduro had given a speech on national television, wherein he accused Elon Musk & claimed that the SpaceX chief had arranged attacks against Venezuela, and did some “computer hacking” at the National Electoral Council (CNE). CNE had declared Maduro the victor in the presidential polls without giving any figures, this all led to a series of allegations by the opposition.
I’m putting my money on Elon. He’s a towering figure and has the mindset of a honey badger! https://t.co/KQmVhVXPOx

”Anytime, Anywhere” Elon Musk Accepts Maduro
Earlier Maduro had accused Musk of controlling social media and said “Social media creates a virtual reality, and who controls the virtual reality? 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.”
On this challenge, Musk on X replied that someone should “tell Maduro I’ll fight him anytime, anywhere.” “In fact, tell him to bring his favourite donkey too.”.
Musk referred to his earlier similar challenge of a fight with Facebook’s Mark Zukerbourg and stated, “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.”
