Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin' Russia over nepo-baby "gamer", "engineer" Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol

Putin also practiced judo for most of his life. Musk won’t be standing for long during the match.

Putin is 5' 7", like 160 lbs, and 70 years old. Elon is 6'2", probably 200 lbs, and 52 years old.

I don't think fitness and training can overcome 20 years, 50 lbs, and a full head of height.

The Tweet linked in the OP is Musk claiming that he challenged Putin to a fist fight.

Oh I missed that part. Thanks. I tend not to read his tweets because they make me angry.
