Elon Musk has seemingly challenged Vladimir Putin to fight for Ukraine.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that he stated this on his official Twitter account tagging Vladimir Putin's page on the tweet.

“I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat,” he tweeted, using the Russian alphabet to write Mr Putin’s name.

“Stakes are Ukraine,” he continued, writing the country’s name in its own language.

In a follow-up tweet, Mr Musk then posted a whole message in Russian. “Do you agree to this fight?”, he wrote, tagging the Kremlin’s official English language Twitter account.

Mr Musk then replied to another Twitter user who suggested that the Russian president would easily win any fight.
