After ducking Mark Zuckerberg, Musk has now agreed to fight 61-year-old Nicolas Maduro on live TV.
Billionaire mogul Elon Musk has agreed to fight the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, in what’s become the latest chapter in the banal saga of grown people who want fight each other over social media comments.
The conflict escalated on July 31 when Musk posted what was perceived by many as incendiary remarks on X.com indicating that he was “coming for” Maduro and would “carry” him “to Gitmo on a donkey.” With "Gitmo" being an apparent reference to the US federal detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Musk’s remarks appeared to come in response to the insinuation that Maduro had personally called Musk out in a video clip appearing on X.com. A “community notes” addendum was quickly placed beneath the clip explaining that Maduro had made no such mention.
