Oonagh Keating. Updated February 9th, 2024

Because there’s nothing so tragic or grave that Elon Musk can’t try to turn it into the Cirque De Musk, he’s weighed in on the Russian invasion of Ukraine by offering to go toe to toe with Vladimir Putin.

He added this message, directed at the Kremlin’s Twitter account –

Which, if Google Translate knows what it’s talking about, means

‘Do you agree to this fight?’

Some people thought he might be joking – which seems reasonable. He claims he wasn’t.

Russia’s former ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, had a slap-down quote for the billionaire, which translated to –

You, little devil, are still young,
Compete with me weak;
It would only be a waste of time.
Overtake my brother first.

This was his double-headed response.
