Following the recent riots and protests against what many deem a false election in Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro challenged Elon Musk to a fight on national television.
 

I accept

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 31, 2024

Maduro was displeased with the Tesla tech mogul's claims that Venezuela's presidential election results were fraudulent.

The New York Post reported that Musk wrote in a post to X: “Maduro, leave! Venezuelans chose to end the communist dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro."

"The data announce a crushing victory of the opposition, and the world is waiting for you to recognize the defeat after years of socialism, misery, decadence and death."

The BRICS News account on X shared a video wherein Maduro called Musk his "archenemy."
