ELON Musk challenged Vladimir Putin to single combat after mocking people's support for Ukraine as the "current thing."
The Tesla boss' latest challenge to Putin comes as the Russian invasion of Ukraine entered its third week.
"I hereby challenge Владимир Путин [Vladimir Putin] to single combat Stakes are Україна [Ukraine],” Musk tweeted.
“Do you agree to this fight?” he followed up in a second translated post, tagging the Kremlin’s official Twitter account.
The challenge came after several odd posts by the tech mogul on Monday morning, as he was mocked people who publicly back different causes online.
Musk shared a popular meme style that features a man holding a Ukrainian flag with the captioned "I Support the Current Thing."

Musk's Starlink service uses thousands of satellites in Low Earth Orbit to beam internet connections back down instead of standard cables on the ground.
But to receive data, users need access to a Sky TV-style satellite dish.
Ukraine Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov tweeted at Musk in late February, saying, "while you try to colonise Mars – Russia tries to occupy Ukraine.
"While your rockets successfully land from space – Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people!" he said.
"We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand."
