On national television on July 31, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro challenged Tesla CEO Elon Musk to a fight. The billionaire entrepreneur accepted it, putting multiple posts on social media platform X and luring netizens’ reactions.
“I’m coming for you Maduro! … I’ll carry you to Gitmo on a donkey,” Musk noted in a post, referring to an informal name for the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a US military prison located on a naval base along the Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
The tensed environment surrounding Musk and Maduro took shape after the entrepreneur accused the socialist leader of “major election fraud”, as both the incumbent President and opponent Edmundo Gonzalez claimed victory in the 2024 Venezuelan election.
Speaking on national television, Maduro blamed Musk of engineering attacks against his country, claiming the SpaceX CEO is behind an apparent “computer hacking” at the National Electoral Council (CNE), reported India Today.
Interestingly, CNE had declared Maduro the victor in the recently concluded Venezuelan presidential election, but didn’t provide detailed figures on the number of votes – a step that has triggered allegations of rigging and violent protests across the country.
After Venezuela’s electoral council announced the results, Musk voiced his serious disapproval, calling the polls a “travesty”. “If I win, he resigns as dictator of Venezuela. If he wins, I give him a free ride to Mars,” the entrepreneur further mentioned on X.Venezuelans are furious over the country’s economic collapse during the incumbent’s 11-year term in office and a migration crisis that has seen 8 million citizens flee. Global leaders have also expressed serious doubts over the election results, calling for transparency.
