"Elon Musk, a word of advice. Don't measure your strength against that of Putin. Vladimir Vladimirovich will look unsportsmanlike when he beats the hell out of you, a much weaker opponent," Kadyrov said, using Vladimir Putin's middle name. He also proposed that Musk train at one of the facilities in the Chechen Republic before he fights Putin.
In response to this, Musk not only changed his name To Elona Musk on Twitter but also wrote, "Thank you for the offer, but such excellent training would give me too much of an advantage. If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only my left hand and I am not even left-handed. Elona (sic)."
