As usual, the Twitter post received thousands of approving comments from all over the world. Among them were the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, and the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov.
But Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechen Republic and a close ally of Vladimir Putin, warned Musk to stay away from the Russian President. According to him, the two people are in “completely different leagues”. Kadyrov argued that Putin is not only a master of judo and mixed martial arts, but also a strategist. Rather, he described Musk as a “businessman and Twitter user.” Kadyrov went even further, naming Tesla’s boss ‘Elona’. “You’re going to have to pump those muscles to evolve from the kind Elona to the brutal Elon you were meant to be,” he said.
