'Maduro 'I'm Coming For You...': Elon Musk Accepts Venezuelan President's Fight Challenge

Washington: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has accepted the challenge to fight Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on national television, saying that he is "I’m coming for you Maduro!"

The world's richest man and tech mogul announced on X. The post reads, "I’m coming for you Maduro! I will carry you to Gitmo on a donkey."

Tension between Musk and the Venezuelan President erupted after the Tesla CEO chief accused the socialist leader of "major election fraud," after both Maduro and his opponent claimed victory in the recently concluded presidential elections.

Musk also called Maduro a "dictator." Sharing a video on his account which showed violence in Venezuela, Musk said, "Adios Dictatora Maduro."

Responding to Musk, Maduro in turn trashed Musk calling him "the archenemy of Venezuela's peace."

"He is the representation of the fascist ideology, anti-natural, anti-society," Maduro said.

Warning him, Maduro said, "Elon Musk is desperate, control yourself."

"Whoever gets involved with me dries out."

In his national television address, Maduro accused Musk of engineering attacks against Venezuela, alleging that Musk was responsible for a supposed "computer hacking" at the National Electoral Council (CNE). However, the CNE had already declared Maduro the winner of the presidential polls without providing detailed results, fueling accusations of election rigging.

This isn't Musk's first run-in with foreign governments. Earlier this year, the self-styled Muak had a confrontation with a Brazilian Supreme Court justice over issues related to free speech, far-right accounts, and alleged misinformation on X (formerly Twitter).
