Elon Musk Offers To Fight Vladimir Putin For Control Of Ukraine

Tesla founder and noted internet weirdo Elon Musk has challenged Vladimir Putin to a fight, and according to the terms that Musk has laid out, the winner gets control over Ukraine. Forget for a moment that Musk doesn't have the authority to declare who gets to run a sovereign country, his statement by itself is one of the most absurd takes we have seen in the ongoing conflict and it shows just how out of touch the Tesla man has become. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Tesla and SpaceX founder, Elon Musk has decided to insert himself as he often does into the news of the day. And the news of the day, of course, is Russia and Ukraine and Russia's continuing attacks against Ukraine. Well, earlier this week, Elon Musk decided he was gonna be the one to put and end to Vladimir Putin's reign of terror. So he literally got on Twitter, I'm sorry, and challenged Vladimir Putin to a fight. And the winner Elon Musk says, gets Ukraine. Here's what he tweeted. He said, I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat, stakes are Ukraine. There you have it. Mano a mano, just Musk in one corner, Putin in the other one, man emerges victorious and whoever it is, gets control of Ukraine. So sayeth Elon Musk, the internet weirdo, and yes, Elon Musk has straight up just become an internet weirdo. That ,that's all he is. That's all he does.

Like we're talking about a grown man, one of the richest people in the country, who has decided to devote himself to being one of those terminally online reply guys, because I guess he has nothing better to do. Here's a challenge, Elon. How about you make a vehicle that doesn't have to be recalled for being a total piece of, right? 25% of the, of all of the Teslas ever produced have been recalled, 25%. As far as I know and correct me if I'm wrong folks, but I'm pretty that's actually one of the worst records for any automobile manufacturer in history, 25% of your vehicles have been recalled for rather important defaults. So yeah, Elon, maybe log off a Twitter every now and then and design a car that's not gonna, you know, break abruptly. Either way. Ukraine is not yours, Elon, to wager in a fist fight with Vladimir Putin. And I know you seem like a guy that, you know, you've been taking care of yourself, I guess.

You hitting the gym a little bit, I'm sure now that you're single and Putin's an older fella, sure. But I don't know. I'm willing to bet Putin's got a little bit on you there. As much as I would love to see Putin get the crap kicked out of him, I'm pretty sure he knows a few tricks from his KGB days and probably would be able to take you down in about half a second. You know, in today's first video, I talked about the fact that we're effectively ruled here in America by the stupidest among us and I think that's a good spot to end on for today as well, because it all comes full circle. This is how just stupid we are. We're letting this billionaire who runs a friggin' space program, get on Twitter and challenge another world leader who's currently invading a sovereign country to a fist fight over who gets to control the country. This is nuts. Again, we're in Idiocracy. If you haven't seen the movie, guess what? You don't have to. Go open your window, go log onto social media, go watch the news, you're already living it.
