Although the smoke of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has not yet dissipated, fortunately, the situation finally has the hope of turning around, but at this time, some people jumped out of the room and spoke harshly to Putin.
According to media reports, Elon Musk, the founder of the US Space Exploration Technology Company, recently made a surprising move. Musk posted on Twitter social media that to challenge Vladimir Putin, for a person-to-person duel, take Ukraine as a bet. It's worth noting that Musk mixed English, Ukrainian and Russian to post the tweet. He also did not forget to follow up on the official account of the Kremlin, asking Putin in Russian whether he would like such a duel.
Although Musk has long shown a whimsical appearance, this time he ran to the background of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to insert a foot, and those who did not know thought that Musk also wanted to participate in the next US presidential election. When a businessman who is not doing his own business well and suddenly makes inexplicable remarks in such a situation, it is difficult to say that he does not want to take the opportunity to hype himself up for some other purpose.
Musk's remarks unsurprisingly triggered a burst of ridicule, and the leader of the Chechen Republic of Russia, Kadyrov Jr., said directly that he did not recommend musk to compete with Putin, but he welcomed Musk to Chechnya for martial arts training. The response of Rogozin, the general manager of the Russian State Space Corporation, is more direct, directly quoting the classic quote from Russian literature: "You are a little ghost, you are still very young." ”
Rogozin said Musk was young and always had some puns. Not long ago, Rogozin also said on the issue of the space station after Russia was subjected to Western sanctions that Russia is likely to terminate its continued cooperation with the United States on the International Space Station and no longer provide transportation services for the Soyuz spacecraft for the International Space Station, and a few days later, Rogozin announced that Russia would no longer provide RD-181 rocket engines to the United States. The relevant person in the United States immediately said that if it really loses the transportation support of the Russian side, it will need to rely on the domestic space development company.
Musk, who loves to promote himself, stood up at this time, vowing that Russia is not going to do it and do not have to be afraid, and we SpaceX. Musk threatened to replace Russian equipment with his own products. Musk's "Dragon" spacecraft can indeed carry goods and transport people, but leaving aside the more difficult cost control, if you want to adjust the orbital attitude of the International Space Station, I am afraid that it will not work. To duel, Musk is afraid that he is still young, he has to go to Chechnya to practice, to replace the Russian spacecraft, Musk is really unreliable. Sure enough, young people still have to exercise more.
You know, like many other machine builders, Tesla also maintains trade with Russia in raw materials. According to media reports, Tesla has actually purchased a large amount of aluminum from Rusal, worth millions of euros, as a raw material for the production of its car shell and other components, for the production of Tesla factory in Brandenburg, Germany, and this part of the aluminum is also ready to be shipped to Tesla's new factory in Berlin. It is very ironic that at present, the West has launched sanctions against Russia under the leadership of the United States, and Musk himself has also taken a tough posture, showing solidarity with Ukraine and opposing Russia, but among those who strongly support the "Russian oligarchy", there is just Musk's own shadow.
Musk wants to continue to package his "hero" with the "duel declaration", so this time Tesla intends to continue to transfuse blood to Russia, or intends to fulfill the promise of "strong man breaking wrist"? After all, the price of raw materials for electric vehicles has risen a lot recently, and the pressure of inflation still exists, and Tesla is the time for tight operation. When asked if Tesla was determined to cut off its trade with Russian companies, Musk was vague. I see, Musk said that he is going to duel with Putin, in fact, what he really wants to challenge at the moment is his own president Biden!
