He's F%$#ing Nuts

I am referring to Elon Musk, and while I am an engineer, and not a psychiatrist, dammit,^* everyone's favorite blood emerald heir has just challenged Vladimir Putin to single combat.

This is not someone of sound and body, except, perhaps for a professional comedian,^† would ever do.

Even ignoring the the obvious, that it's just insane, there is the fact that Putin is a black belt in Judo, and almost certainly received extensive training in the Russian combat martial art Sambo.^‡

On the other hand, I'd pay good money to see Vladimir Putin break Elon Musk's fingers in a boxing ring:

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “single combat” amid his invasion of Ukraine.

The Tesla billionaire shared a tweet on Monday in which he made his proposition.

“I hereby challenge [Vladimir Putin] to single combat,” said Musk, who wrote the ruler’s name in Russian. “Stakes are [Ukraine],” he added, with Ukraine written in Ukrainian, per Bloomberg.

You know the old joke, poor people are eccentric, and rich people are crazy, but Elon ……… Well, "Son, you got a condition."

^*I love it when I get to go all Dr. McCoy!
^†Remember, they are PROFESSIONALS, don't try this at home, ever!
^‡No, really, it's name comes from samozashchita bez oruzhiya (Russian: самозащита без оружия), meaning unarmed fighting.
