Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his opponents both claimed victory in Sunday's national election, but the release of official vote tallies was delayed. Maduro was eventually declared the winner with 51 per cent of the vote, a result widely disputed.
Shortly after, Elon Musk took to the social media platform X to accuse the self-proclaimed socialist leader of 바카라major election fraud".
바카라Shame on Dictator Maduro,바카라 Musk said Monday on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that Musk owns.
Musk also retweeted a comment on X by his 바카라friend바카라 Argentine President Javier Milei. 바카라The numbers announced a landslide opposition by the victory and the world is waiting for the government to acknowledge defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence and death,바카라 Milei said.
Maduro was swift to respond to Musk바카라s social media posts, calling the billionaire a threat to Venezuela. 바카라Elon Musk. Whoever messes with me, dries up. Whoever messes with Venezuela dries up, Elon Musk. You want to fight? Let바카라s have it, Elon Musk. I바카라m ready바카라 I am not afraid of you. Let바카라s go at it, wherever you want바카라 Just say where,바카라 Maduro said on Wednesday.
바카라He wants to come here with his guns and an army to invade Venezuela. Elon Musk, good thing you showed your face because we knew you were behind it all! With your money and your satellites,바카라 the president said.
Musk accepted Maduro's apparent invitation to a physical fight, posting on X, "I accept바카라 He will chicken out."
In another tweet, Elon said: 바카라If I win, he resigns as dictator of Venezuela. If he wins, I give him a free ride to Mars.바카라
This is not the first time Musk has proposed a fight. In June of last year proposed a fight between himself and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who seemed to accept the invitation to brawl.
A Meta spokesperson later claimed Zuckerberg was serious about taking on Musk, who in August said the brawl would be live-streamed on his platform. The "cage match" never came to fruition.
