This is, like, the smallest thing here, but it is amazing that Elon Musk is the kind of manchild who thinks, "I literally challenged Putin to one on one combat" is, like, a boast that shows how serious he was, as opposed a petulant mewl that shows what an overgrown toddler he is.
Challenging a 72-year-old man who probably has Parkinson’s to one-on-one combat. Elon is so brave.
He would fall out a window or show up with radiation poisoning.
I once asked Mike Tyson to fight me 1 on 1 but he ghosted me. He must've been scared bc im so badass.
I think Jon Stewart was the one who said America has become the Logan Paul of countries, picking fights with people it has no call for fighting. At least Logan Paul actually stepping in the ring "fought" Tyson, instead of having his mother bail him out of fights like Musk

Challenged Putin. His mommy wouldn't even let him fight Zuck.
Statements like these are a giant label that says "I am a chihuahua in a human body, yap yap yap fear me"
Condescending little twat
He also challenged Mark Zuckerberg to one-on-one combat and then dodged Zuckerberg's attempts to set a date until he lost interest.
Let's not forget that he also challenged Mark Zuckerberg to "one on one combat" and chickened out when Zuckerberg actually took it seriously. Musk doesn't see it, but he's exhibiting classic bully behavior.
The one thing he's right about is that there's no direct substitute for Starlink, and it's his single-mindedness that was a major reason it has become what it has become.
Just like when he challenged Zuckerberg to a fight and then hid.
These are among the most unhinged posts from Elon. Challenged Putin to one on one combat? Sounds like he is hallucinating hard
He's openly admitting to having had an ongoing relationship with Putin. I'm curious for how long, how often, and what were the subjects of discussion. Did this incident occur prior to Trump taking office?
Anyone utilizing Starlink at this point needs to find another provider. You at the whim of a ketamine addled sociopath. Reliance on someone like that is guaranteed to end badly
Anyone still using starlink, apparently never saw the beginning of the new Battlestar Galactica.
And there are other providers, despite Elon's lie about that. EUTELSAT is just one: www.marketwatch.com/story/shares...
Also kind of funny if you remember when Elon challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a fight, then backed out. Also, that Putin is 72.
I'm curious when this supposedly happened, what was being discussed, and what other contacts he's had with Putin.
Snotty-nosed kid with a huge chip on his shoulder
“Oh, I could never overcome you and your jujitsu prowess,” said Putin, firmly gripping a broomstick lodged up Elon’s ass.
It's also worth noting Putin would 100% kill him in a fight. Musk wants to pretend he's a psychopath like Putin but he isn't. He's a bully, with infinite resources, but when backed into a corner he will become a stone cold bitch.
Don’t puff Putin up. He’s also not really the macho horseback rider Russian media pretends. Granted he has the judo skills but he‘s old and not well.
"Look how brave and serious I was, I challenged someone I knew would absolutely not accept to a thing any clear-thinking adult knows would absolutely not happen."
putin is much older than him but is actually into martial arts and would probably kill him
Putin also has other things to do. And as the ruler of a nation, if he wants someone punched or shot, he has people to do that for him.
like very legitimately, there was reporting for a good stretch that putin did Sambo the way trump golfs
Putin isn't going to arm-wrestle someone for Ukraine; Putin would kill him with Polonium-210 laced tea - or, I dunno, potato chips. Ketamine. Whatever Musk consumes.
of course! but the fact that the physical fight has a pretty obvious winner on expectation just makes it a dumber suggestion
Men with nuclear weapons do not settle their grudges with fist-fights.
Also: Musk is a fat rich kid who got snotklapped by the Afrikaans ous in his school when he was a jackass. Putin, while old, has the genuine air of the feral gopnik he was. The sort that goes for the eyes on the slightest excuse.
Best of all, he is so puffed up on his own supply that he doesn’t realise any “meet” would have gone down like John the Fearless meeting the Dauphin. And Elon wouldn’t be the Dauphin in that scenario.
Thats a hell of a reference.
Somehow it still boggles my mind how completely out of touch Elon is with the thought processes of any normal human being.
Its a dangerous world where a man with the emotional maturity of a primary school-kid is one of the most powerful men on the planet.
Didn’t he also challenge Zuckerberg to a fight (then back out)? Just the emptiness silliest nothingness from these chuds
Has Elon's brain function degraded considerably in the last 2-3 years, or was he always like this and just previously better at hiding it?
He's been like this for longer than that and hasn't hidden it particularly well. The "cave rescue submarine" thing and Musk's calling the actual cave diver who rescued the trapped kids a pedophile happened 7 years ago in 2018.
got addicted to Twitter and it broke his brain like it does to everyone
As far as we know he uses a wild mix of psychoactive substances with little oversight. When he bragged to work 14 hours/day it was clear that he uses shitloads of stims (amphs and/or cocaine) - and likely something to slow down after. Then we learned he also takes ketamine, allegedly for depression…
Fun fact about Sikorski in this macho context-in the 80s he went to Afghanistan to fight the Soviets.
How did I not place that he is Anne Applebaum's husband?!
Another fun fact :)
this guy wouldn’t dare to challenge a stuffed teddybear to one-on-one combat
Bonus points for declaring himself the Ukranian peoples' champion in "single combat" without consulting them.
Also, Putin would KO Elon in 5 seconds.
I'd pay to see that match. Whoever loses, we all win.
The only reason Elon would have to be the champion for Ukraine would be if he wanted them to lose. He would get pasted by Putin in any physical competition.
BTW Sikorski is the guy in this picture: bsky.app/profile/jmko...
Dipshit diplomacy
What's funny to me is if it Putin actually took the challenge seriously, Elon would have to get rescued by his mom before he got his face caved in like he did from the proposed fight against Zuckerberg. Musk is absolutely the guy who thinks he knows about swordfighting because he got a mall katana.
IOW, a Temu!NapoleonDynamite.
Putin is an elderly small man who had a desk job with the KGB. None of these people are Jesse Ventura.

We used to execute people like Elon Musk by firing squad.
“Oh yeah, well be quiet, I challenged Putin to a game of SuperSmash melee for the fate of Ukraine. That’s how committed I am. What have you done Mr. “Polish Foreign Minister”?
Amazingly worth noting: bsky.app/profile/domi...
Elmo is on a quest to prove Dunning and Kruger correct. This is just another small bit of evidence in his proof.
I'd pay to watch that fuckin ripped grandpa-ass Russian tear him limb from limb tbh
Exactly. The whole thing is just such a small weak man using his cash to bully. It's vile.
So NoW pUtIn TaKeS mE sErIoUsLy
I, too, think I could beat up a guy 20 years older than me.
Didn't Elmo even chicken out from the fight with the Uber nerd who started Facebook? These guys are such cosplay losers. My god.
Each day, I look forward to reading musk and pooty's obituaries. Each day I'm disgusted that neither is there.
It gets worse. Marco Rubio got into the mix. Actually. Elon's message came 15 minutes after Rubio's. Diplomacy on X is not great.
I just saw that! FFS...
I know why he says there isn't an alternative to Starlink but how soon can an alternative to Starlink be put in place? Or activate the one that is in place b/c there must be an alternative somewhere.
Also funny that he thinks we don't know Putin would have won.
Deadbeat dad Elon Musk challenged Putin, a 72 year old grandfather to a fight. What a brave man he isn’t. Idiot Musk should stick to ignoring his wives & children, sacking & starving veterans, stealing ideas, lying, being a Nazi, getting hair transplants and crashing cars, rockets & businesses.
I'll take Shit That Never Happened for $500, Alex.
Giving “Idiocracy” a serious run for its money.
What was the community note out of curiosity?
He chickened out of fighting the Zuck and we’re supposed to believe he challenged a judo master?
This is how you get a child saying "I want you to shut your mouth. You're not the president" to the "president".
For sure the ex-KGB/FSB man would accept a fistfight with a man-toddler. I'm completely sure Vladimir Vladimirovich didn't laugh himself breathless.
As much as I hate Putin, it would be hilarious to watch a 70 year old kick the hell out of the flabby Ketamine addict.
I‘ve met Sikorski, he would demolish Musk in one to one combat. How do we make that happen?
Also amazing because Putin would destroy that effete doughboy in seconds.
