ELON Musk was challenged to fight by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The challenge was launched by Maduro on national television after winning a third term, reported the Anadolu Agency.
Following the Venezuelan election results, the CEO of X posted that Maduro’s victory was the result of “massive electoral fraud.”
“Maduro, go away! Venezuelans have chosen to end the communist dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro,” Musk, 53, said in a second post on his social media platform.
“The data announces a crushing victory for the opposition, and the world expects them to recognize defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence and death.”
Musk’s online violence caught the attention of Maduro, who called the SpaceX founder a threat to the country and then issued his invitation to fight.
“Social media creates a virtual reality and who controls the virtual reality? Our new archenemy, the famous Elon Musk,” said Maduro.
“I’m not afraid of you, Elon Musk. Let’s fight, wherever you want.”
On Wednesday, Musk he responded to the invitation saying: “I accept”.

“Maduro will also manipulate the fight” he said a second person.

Maduro’s challenge to Musk comes after it was reported that a former Green Beret, who was also a bodyguard for former President Donald Trump, was arrested for a failed coup attempt against the Venezuelan government in 2020.
Jordan Goudreau, 48, who was arrested in New York, is accused of trying to round up Venezuelan army deserters in an attempt to remove Maduro from power.
The Venezuelan president is not the only person Musk is willing to fight with.
On Thursday, Musk gave an update on his alleged fight with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
“I will fight Zuckerberg anywhere, anytime, any rules,” said the Tesla CEO he responded as he left Congress after watching Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech.
Both Zuckerberg, 39, and Musk recently toyed with the idea of a potential fight, but nothing came of it.
The rivalry between the two began last year, when Musk posted: “I’m ready for a cage fight if he is.”
Zuckerberg later shared an Instagram screenshot of his response saying, “Send me the location.”
