The Battle lines Draw: Venezuela President Maduro, Elon Musk challenge themselves to a fight...

 

Billionaire businessman and owner of X, Elon Musk has accepted the challenge of a fight by Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro.

Maduro, whose claim to victory at the polls has been widely contested, is no friend of billionaire Elon Musk, and the feeling is clearly mutual, with their war of words escalating amid the political crisis in Caracas.

Maduro had during a speech challenged Musk saying, “Elon Musk. Whoever messes with me, dries up. Whoever messes with Venezuela dries up, Elon Musk. You want to fight? Let’s have it, Elon Musk. I’m ready… I am not afraid of you. Let’s go at it, wherever you want… Just say where.” Elon Musk responded saying “I accept… He will chicken out.”

Musk — who leads SpaceX and Tesla, and owns the social network X — is an ultra-capitalist who backs Donald Trump, meaning he is everything that the socialist Maduro despises.

But in recent days, the bus driver-turned-leader of oil-rich, cash-poor Venezuela has Musk — who he calls his “arch-enemy” — in his sights.

Maduro has accused Musk of being behind “attacks against Venezuela” and possibly the mastermind of an alleged “computer hacking” at the National Electoral Council (CNE), which declared Maduro the winner of Sunday’s vote without providing detailed data

On Tuesday, following a meeting of Maduro’s top political and military advisors, he announced the creation of a special committee, aided by Russian and Chinese experts, to evaluate the nation’s biosecurity and an attack on the CNE’s communications systems.

“The attacks, I am sure, were directed by the power of Elon Musk,” he said.

Opposition figures and observers do not believe there was actually a hack, but that authorities self-sabotaged the system so they would not have to provide the real election results.

Before voters cast their ballots, the 61-year-old Maduro was running well behind opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia in independent opinion polls.

“Venezuela, as I said yesterday and today, is facing domestic and international aggression from world powers, and now it is evident that Elon Musk is obsessed with the idea of taking over Venezuela and ruling it from abroad,” Maduro said.

“He is largely responsible for these attacks and acts of aggression,” he added, suggesting the existence of a “global alliance of the far right, the fascist far right, drug traffickers, Elon Musk and the imperialist US government.”

“All those who come after Venezuela, we will eliminate them.”

When asked about the criticisms, a senior Venezuelan foreign ministry official said on condition of anonymity: “We know who Musk is. He’s on the far right and supports (Argentine President Javier) Milei… So we take all these remarks as compliments.”

Before Sunday’s election, Musk posted: “It is time for the people of Venezuela to have the chance for a better future. Support Maria Corina!”

He was referring to the wildly popular opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who was barred from running against Maduro.

He also posted a 2020 announcement from the US Drug Enforcement Administration of criminal charges against Maduro for drug trafficking and a $15 million reward for information leading to his arrest.

“He 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,” Maduro said.

“He wants to control the world, he already controls Argentina… You want to fight? Elon Musk, I am ready. I am the son of Bolivar and Chavez, I’m not afraid of you, Elon Musk… The people defeated Elon Musk’s bots, we defeated Elon Musk’s bots!”

Musk’s retort came in Spanish: “An ass knows more than Maduro.”

Later on, the billionaire added: “Sorry to have compared the poor ass to Maduro. That was an insult to the animal kingdom.”
