The Venezuelan president invited the owner of X to fight “anywhere”, comparing him to a donkey through his social network.
Following the disputed results of the Venezuelan presidential elections, Nicolas Maduro has faced harsh terms against Elon Muskwhom he even invited to fight.
Since the National Electoral Council (CNE) declared the current president the winner of the elections, the owner of X (formerly Twitter) has taken advantage of his social network to attack him and call it a “big fraud.”
The billionaire has reposted various records on his account alluding to the elections in Venezuela, mentioning that “People in Venezuela want change” and “if the military supports the will of the people, it’s over for Maduro.”
In addition, Elon Musk published a poster in which the DEA offers 15 million dollars for information leading to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro. “This is real”he wrote next to the record.
He has also shared messages from other Latin American presidents such as Salvadoran Nayib Bukele and Argentinean Javier Milei, who accuse Venezuela of electoral fraud.
Elon Musk calls Nicolás Maduro a “donkey” after his unusual invitation
At a press conference, Nicolás Maduro called Elon Musk his new “archenemy”“There is something called social media, which creates a virtual reality. And who controls virtual reality? Our new arch-enemy, the famous Elon Musk (…) He would like to come with his rockets and an army to invade Venezuela,” the president began by saying in the video shared by the owner of Tesla.
He then referred to a video that the billionaire reposted before the election results were announced, in which some people can be seen carrying some boxes, and accused the billionaire of “being ruined.”
“It turns out that it was a video from somewhere, of some people taking some air conditioners. Then he said The evidence against Maduro that he stole the elections, the boxes that are being stolen from the CNE. Elon Musk, you are desperate, you are out of control, Elon Musk, get a hold of yourself”Maduro said.
After that, the Venezuelan president invited the businessman to a “round” somewhere. “You want a fight? Let’s go Elon Musk. I’m ready.”I am the son of Bolívar and Chávez, I am not afraid of you Elon Musk. Let’s give it to each other, wherever you want, as we say in Caracas in the neighborhoods: if you want, I want, say where, but Venezuela is respected, we do not accept interventionism from anyone.”
Following these statements, Musk uploaded the video to his X account and wrote: “The donkey knows more than Maduro” and then he added: “I’m sorry for comparing the poor donkey to Maduro. It’s an insult to the animal world.”
Origin of Elon Musk’s message calling Nicolás Maduro a “donkey”
In 2006, former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez attacked the then President of the United States, George W. Bush, for the invasion of Iraq that the country had undertaken years before.
“You are a donkey, a ‘donkey’, Mr. Danger, a coward, an alcoholic, you are the worst thing that has ever existed on this planet,” was part of what Chavez said to Bush on that occasion.
