Elon Musk has accepted an apparent invitation from embattled Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to physically fight after the world’s wealthiest man repeatedly took jabs at Maduro over what he has called "major election fraud" in the country and called the president a "dictator” on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that Musk owns.

Maduro and his opponents each claimed victory in a national election Sunday in which the release of official vote tallies were delayed before Madura was declared the winner with 51% of the vote—a result that has been widely called into question and Musk has since called fraud.
Musk also reposted a tweet from Argentine President Javier Milei calling on the socialist Maduro to "recognize the defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence and death."
