We live in strange times. Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, who is currently in the process of “challenging democratic elections,” has even challenged X CEO Elon Musk to a physical fight.
And Musk accepted.
The challenge comes after a series of public spats between the two, with Musk criticizing Maduro’s leadership and accusing him of blatant election fraud.
“You want a fight? Let’s have one, Elon Musk,” Maduro said earlier this week. “As we said here: If you want it, I want it.”
He added: “I’m not afraid of you, Elon Musk. Let’s fight wherever you want.”

Elon Musk Accepts Maduro Challenge
Whether it’s a playful joke on social media or a serious response, Elon Musk has expressed interest in fighting to end it all with Nicolas Maduro.
Musk responded to X succinctly: “I accept.”
The tech giant then added some conditions to the winners and losers.
“If I win, he will step down as dictator of Venezuela,” Musk wrote. “If he wins, I will give him a free trip to Mars.”
Is this a one-way ticket?
In a post claiming Maduro had instructed his bodyguards to protect him from Musk, the X CEO further mocked Maduro.
“Maduro, I’m coming for you!” he said. “I’ll put you on a donkey and take you to Gitmo.”

Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator
You absolutely must read this New York Times article preparing for the Elon Musk vs. Nicolás Maduro showdown. It’s a stunning testament to how corrupt the American media has become.
If you’re reading this news article after living under a rock for a while, you’re probably thinking Musk is the bad guy in this situation. This article spends 98% of its time criticizing Musk’s current red pill worldview and elevating Maduro to the status quo. Against ~ That view.
They even went so far as to use quotes to mask the Venezuelan president by using the word “dictator.”
Let’s take a quick look at what types of people The New York Times favors.
Maduro has a history of extreme homophobia and flagrant murder under his regime.
In 2018, Canada imposed sanctions on Venezuela and referred the case to the International Criminal Court for Maduro’s crimes against humanity.
The move follows an investigation by the Organization of American States (OAS) that found Maduro was responsible for “dozens of killings, thousands of extrajudicial executions, more than 12,000 arbitrary detentions, over 290 cases of torture, attacks on the judiciary and a ‘state-sanctioned humanitarian crisis’ affecting hundreds of thousands of people.”
So, Elon, feel free to hang out with that guy.
