Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a one-on-one fight. Musk challenged Putin on Twitter to a fight with Ukraine’s stakes.

“I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to a single war,” he tweeted, using Russian letters to spell Vladimir Putin.

“The stakes are Ukraine,” wrote Elon Musk, seemingly with the winner of the duel to decide the fate of the Russo-Ukraine war.

Since Putin does not have a personal Twitter account, Musk asked the official Twitter handle of the President of Russia to confirm–@Kremlinrussia_E. Do you agree to this fight? asked Musk.

Earlier, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, provided Internet connectivity to Ukraine through the company’s Starlink satellites amid a raging war.

Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February after President Vladimir Putin authorized what he called a special military operation to ‘demilitarize and demilitarize’ Ukraine. The United Nations has recorded at least 596 civilian deaths since the invasion, although it believes the real toll is much higher. Millions more have fled their homes, with more than 2.8 million crossing into Poland and other neighboring countries.

Meanwhile, representatives of Ukraine and Russia once again met today for another round of talks to end the ongoing conflict. Delegation level talks and meetings between the foreign ministers of the two countries have so far failed to produce any favorable results.
