He also proposed that Musk train at one of the facilities in the Chechen Republic before he fights Putin.
In response to this, Musk not only changed his name To Elona Musk on Twitter but also wrote, "Thank you for the offer, but such excellent training would give me too much of an advantage. If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only my left hand and I am not even left-handed. Elona (sic)."
