Musk "singled out" Putin
Recently, the fight between two retired elderly people in Shanghai Fuxing Park was on the hot search.
The picture shows: an old man wearing a gray top hat covers his ears with his left hand, the white gauze is soaked with blood, and there are police officers standing around.
After understanding the mediator, the mediator learned that the two bosses fought because of opposing views on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The two sides disagreed, leading to an argument that eventually resolved the "dispute" by "force".
As a result, the injured who lost the fight were hospitalized, and the loser who won the loss money was detained.
The war situation between Russia and Ukraine, global attention. Unlike these two old people in Shanghai, the world-famous billionaire Elon Musk is not willing to be lonely and jumps out to "single out" Putin.
In order to rub a wave of heat, Musk is not too big, to be "one-on-one" with Putin:
He openly "singled out" Putin on Twitter, calling it Ukraine fighting!
Tesla CEO Elon Musk challenged on Twitter on March 14, saying: "I hereby launch a one-on-one challenge to Владимир Путин." ”
"The bet is Украна." He added.
"Владимир Путин" is the Russian language of Vladimir Putin, while "Украна" is translated as Ukraine.
He then sent another tweet that read, "Вы согласны на этот бой? ”
Translated as: "Do you agree with this battle?" ”

Musk's "single challenge", although Putin did not reply, "Putin's little fan" Chechen President Kadyrov once again stepped forward, asking Musk to go to Chechnya first to "practice and then come back", and also gave him the female name "Elona".
In this regard, on the 16th Beijing time, Musk, who is not willing to show weakness, posted that he thanked Kadyrov for his invitation, but he was afraid that such excellent training would allow him to "enhance his advantages".
Musk also said that if Putin agrees to fight, he agrees to fight with only his left hand, although he is not left-handed.
The funny thing is that Musk not only signed "Iluna" at the end of the article, but also directly changed the account name to "Elona. Elona Musk" (Elona Musk).
Musk: Agreed to use only the left hand and Putin to single out
Kadyrov: Musk is "heavyweight" different from Putin
Earlier, Kadyrov, the leader of the Russian Republic of Chechnya, said in the instant messaging app Telegram:
Musk and Putin belong to different "heavyweight" figures.
Kadyrov admonished:
"Elon Musk, a piece of advice: Don't compare your strength with Putin," Kadyrov said, "when Putin beats your much weaker opponent to the ground, it will appear that he is not sportsmanlike." ”
"So you need to build muscles in order to go from the girly Elona to the tough Elon that you need." I recommend that you train in one of the several centres of the Chechen Republic".
RIA Novosti: Kadyrov advised Musk not to compete with Putin
Kadyrov believes that the problem is not as simple as going head-to-head with judo and the like.
"What do you think about that yourself?" You're a businessman and Twitter blogger in the red corner of the ring; putin's blue horn is a world-class politician, strategist, and someone who scares the West and the United States. When Vladimir Putin hits a weaker opponent, he won't look like he's doing sports. ”
Kadyrov admires Putin, why talk about judo?
Because of the judo movement, Putin is not only an expert, but also a "eight-dan" big name in the judo world.
Judo is Putin's favorite sport. He has been practicing judo since the 6th grade of elementary school and has won two judo competitions in his hometown of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg).
He has also co-authored a book, Judo: History, Theory and Practice, and has recorded an instructional video on "Learning Judo with Putin."
In 2008, Putin was appointed Honorary President of the International Soft Union. In 2012, Putin, who was then a judo "black belt", was awarded the "eight dan" of judo by the International Jutsu Federation, becoming the first Russian to win the eight dan of judo and one of the few "eight dan" judo players in the world.
After Russia launched a "special military operation" against Ukraine, on March 7, the International Judo Federation issued a statement announcing that Russian President Vladimir Putin was dismissed from all positions.
Previously, the International Soft Union had announced the suspension of Putin's "honorary president and ambassador titles of the International Soft Union".

"The International Judo Federation announces that Mr. Vladimir Putin and Mr. Alcadi Rothenberg have been dismissed from all positions of the International Judo Federation." The IDF statement contains only this short sentence and does not mention the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Putin's message was also deleted from the official website of the International Soft Union.
On February 14, 2019, Putin publicly stated that
"Physical exercise can increase a person's adrenaline levels, so your mood can be improved, it will make you think differently about the world, it can help you become more real."
Friends who follow Putin may know that judo is just one of Putin's multi-sport skills.
His regular outdoor sports include hiking, horseback riding, shooting, swimming, etc.
Putin even confidently said that if the work is easier at some point in the future, he will even consider participating in a professional hockey league.
It seems that the rumors are true: Putin is a professional athlete who has been "delayed" by the president!
However, since the Outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict, in addition to the International Jujutsu Federation, the World Taekwondo Association has also previously announced that Putin has been stripped of the honorary title of Black Belt Nine Dan, and FINA has also revoked the medal awarded to Putin in 2014.
General Manager of Russian Aerospace Group: "Little devil, you are still too young"
In response to Musk's single challenge, on the 14th, Rogozin, general manager of the Russian National Space Corporation, also responded to Telegram.
He wrote:
"Little devil, you're still too tender,
You and I are too weak to compete;
That's just a waste of time.
Catch up with my brother first. ”
The above verse is excerpted from Pushkin's fairy tale poem "The Story of the Priest and His Worker Balda".
RIA Novosti: Rogozin responded with poetry to Musk's call for Putin to single out
The gist of this fairy tale poem is:
Balda was the priest's long-term worker, but he didn't want a salary, only requiring him to be able to play three times a year on the priest's head. Fast forward to a year, and the priest tried to avoid Balda's bullet on his head. But Balda finally completed the puzzle and bounced off the priest's head.
And Rogozin, it was also a great honor to show his face on CCTV.
Rogozin
According to CCTV news, on March 3, local time, Rogozin said that Russia stopped supplying rocket engines to the United States.
Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, US sanctions against Russia have been escalating, and an angry Rogozin has opened wheat one after another.
"Sanctions for Alzheimer's Disease!"
The United States should stop using Russian rocket engines, "Fly with their brooms"!
As soon as the news came out, some people were very surprised: the United States bought rocket engines from Russia? Doesn't the United States have this technology itself?
The answer is that Americans are not short of technology, and they do so for cost reasons.
After the end of the Cold War, the United States gradually reduced its investment in very expensive projects, trying to pass on the cost of research and development to other countries. Russia happens to be able to provide cheap and high-quality rocket engines, so it is the best choice.
There are currently two launch vehicles in the United States that are using Russian rocket engines. One is Cosmic God 5 of the United Launch Alliance, and the other is Antares of Northrop Grumman.
Since the end of last year, the Joint Launch Alliance has sensed tensions in Russian-Ukrainian relations and has accelerated the import of rocket engines from Russia, with sufficient stocks. Therefore, Russia cut off the supply of rocket engines, and the United States was basically unaffected.
In fact, the technical level of Russian rocket engines has not made much breakthrough.
So, which rocket engine is the best at the moment? That has to say Musk and his SPACEX.
Russia cut off the supply of rocket engines to the United States, and Musk and his SPACEX can "make a lot of money."
SpaceX Raptor full-flow cycle engine
Just before Rogozin announced the cutoff, SPACEX had just launched a Falcon-9 heavy carrier rocket.
After years of development, SPACEX's various launch vehicles have been enough to undertake various civilian and military space launch tasks, and even have the ability to carry manned spaceflight.
After russia cuts off supply, the Pentagon and the White House are bound to give more research and development funds and launch missions to SPACEX. And the company can produce its own rocket engines and does not rely on Russia.
So someone joked: "Did Rogozin buy Musk's stock?" ”
Musk: Businessman + Influencer?
Born in South Africa in 1971, Musk has tri-nationality to a mechanical engineer.
At the age of 12, he designed a space game software that sold to a magazine for $500.
On the second day of his Ph.D., he decided to quit school to start a business, and he and his brother founded a software company for online content publishing, and after successful cashing out, he turned his attention to the field of electronic payments, and this time he was kicked out.
Internet technology did not succeed, he once again shifted his position, into the exploration of space and new energy vehicles.
He founded the famous space exploration technology company and founded Tesla, the first car company in Silicon Valley. Finding that the cost of buying a Russian rocket was much higher than the cost of developing it himself, he decided to develop his own rocket. But three times in a row, rocket launches failed, tens of millions of investments were reduced to ashes, and Tesla was once on the verge of bankruptcy.
In 2010, his efforts finally paid off. The successful launch of the "Dragon Spaceship" not only turned Musk into a profit, but also established the "Rocket Man" for him.
Subsequently, Musk's trump card, Tesla, became the focus of the world after its first profit in 2013. And Musk has once again built a successful character - "Iron Man".
As musk's trump card - Tesla never advertises, how has the company expanded its popularity?
In December last year, some netizens counted: less than a year, Musk has been on the hot search 74 times.
And some do-gooders have found that Musk's tweets are similar to Trump's tactics.
It is not difficult to see from here that whether it is Iron Man or Rocket Man, it is Musk's personality, and his essence is still a businessman, a capitalist, and also an Internet celebrity.
The identity of "internet celebrity" is an important means for Musk to save advertising costs and expand his influence.
It is already more common for Musk to use his internet celebrity identity to earn huge wealth.
On August 7, 2018, Musk tweeted that he would "privatize Tesla at a price of $420 per share", and the shareholders were moved, and Tesla's stock price rose all the way.
Seventeen days later, he said he had decided to abandon privatization. During this period, Tesla's stock price fluctuated by 35%, and Musk cut a wave of leeks fiercely.
Musk was also sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the same way, Musk used tweets to manipulate the price of the virtual currency Dogecoin.
Another wave of leeks was harvested, and his own wealth soared like a balloon.
In recent times, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has stolen a lot of traffic and exposure, will Internet celebrity Musk be absent? Using the rhetoric at the beginning of this article, he challenged the owner of the Kremlin.
As for whether he is trying to maintain the "Iron Man" persona, or is it calculated that Putin will not ignore him? You don't know.
But what is certain is that Musk's wave of operations has once again brought himself huge fame and exposure, and the companies under his name will save huge advertising costs.
As for his challenge to Putin, is it for "justice" or for the sake of setting up people and saving advertising costs? It is also the benevolent who sees the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.
Musk reportedly has 77.8 million followers. A fan asked him: "Have you really considered this challenge?" Musk replied that he was "absolutely serious."
Asked if Putin would be surprised if he accepted the challenge, Maas insisted it would be "an honor."
Some netizens joked that the 51-year-old Musk does not talk about martial arts, and in his prime, he "singled out" a septuagenarian.
Musk has also raised his stakes in a duel with Putin. He tweeted that if Putin is willing to go it alone, he can "take his bear."
Putin once refuted the claim that he rode a bear.
Musk also said: "I will agree to use only my left hand." ”
Perhaps, this is destined to be a "hot" challenge, and Putin will not respond at all.
Because as the president of Russia, Putin is busy.
He may not have the time, the mood, or the reason to respond...
