In an unexpected turn of events, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has thrown down the gauntlet to tech mogul Elon Musk, challenging him to a "fight."
The challenge was issued during a national television broadcast, where Maduro took a jab at Musk, stating, "Elon Musk, you are desperate, you went off the rails." He further urged the billionaire to "control" himself, warning him of the potential failure akin to "right-wing led all-American politicians."
According to The Post Millennial, Maduro continued his tirade, asserting his readiness to confront 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'm ready. I'm not afraid of you. Let's go at it wherever you want," he declared.
This verbal sparring was triggered by Musk's accusations of "major election fraud" against Maduro, following a contentious Venezuelan election. Musk, in a post on his platform, called for Maduro to step down, asserting that Venezuelans had voted against Maduro's communist dictatorship. "Maduro, leave! Venezuelans chose to end the communist dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro. The data announce a crushing victory of the opposition, and the world is waiting for you to recognize the defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence and death, Musk wrote.
In response to a New York Post article detailing this exchange, Musk accepted Maduro's challenge with a succinct "I accept." He further taunted Maduro, predicting that the Venezuelan leader would back down, stating, "He will chicken out." This incident underscores the escalating tensions between the tech entrepreneur and the Venezuelan leader, a situation that will undoubtedly continue to unfold in the public eye.
