The crisis in Ukraine made Zelenskiy a "celebrity" in the West in an instant. Tesla's Elon Musk is not willing to be lonely, but also with the heat, since March 14, Musk has successively "framed" Putin, he asked ukraine as a bet and Putin single-handedly.

According to media reports, Musk claimed in his new round of statements that he could even "duel" with Putin with only his left hand. His statement is in response to Putin's "iron fan" - Chechen leader Kadyrov. After learning that Musk had "written a war book" to Putin, Kadyrov called Musk on social platforms, and Kaderov called Musk "Elona" to imply that Musk was not masculine enough, and he said that Musk should first go to Chechnya for a series of training to become more "manly", otherwise Putin would be "invincible" to beat Musk. Musk then changed his name to "Elona," saying he would gain too much of an advantage if he went to Chechnya for training, and that if Putin was "scared," he could use only his left hand.

Musk even broke out with the head of the Russian space department, Rogozin, because Musk's SpaceX company and the Russian Federal Space Agency have competed for interests, the United States has long used Russian rocket engines, and cooperated with Russia in the space field, but Musk's SpaceX company has been left out in the cold, and Biden does not seem to want to see Tesla. However, recently russia announced the termination of cooperation with the United States, including the suspension of engines, Rogozin then mocked the United States for "flying with a broomstick", Musk immediately added a joke that the United States can use SpaceX's "broom" to fly. After learning that Musk was going to single out Putin, Rogozin mocked Musk as a "little ghost", and Musk also sneered.

However, the Palace of Kerry ignored Musk's provocations. Putin's secretary Peskov said in response to Musk's "appointment" that everyone has not been on Twitter for a long time and has not paid attention to this matter. Many Russian netizens also regard Musk's remarks as a joke, in their view, Musk should be drunk and should wash and sleep early. Some American netizens also feel that Musk treats the Ukraine crisis as a child fight, which seems childish.

Of course, there are also some people who have nothing to do, began to discuss if Musk and Putin in the ring, who can win, some people think that Musk is nearly 20 years younger, and the height advantage is obvious, so Musk should be able to "win the game in 10 seconds". Some people feel that Putin is a professional KGB, but also a judo black belt, he has won the judo eight dan, his actual combat experience, is not comparable to Musk. So if he does get into the ring, Musk will play GG very quickly.

Of course, this is just some baseless ridicule, and Musk also knows that he can't go head-to-head with Putin, which is why he shouts so much. It's also in line with Musk's consistent performance, he always likes to make unexpected statements on some hot events and then attract attention. Of course, the "key packaging" of western countries this time is Zelenskiy, so Musk's extra drama does not allow him to get much "attention" in Western countries.
