Tesla CEO Elon Musk changed his name to ‘Elona’ after Ramzan Kadyrov, head of the Chechen Republic called him “effeminate”.

Amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the billionaire challenged Putin to single combat to end the Ukrainian war. As a response to that, Kadyrov said that Musk would need to “pump up those muscles in order to change from the gentle (effeminate) Elona into the brutal Elon.”

“Elon Musk, a word of advice. Don’t measure your strength against that of Putin,” Kadyrov said. “Vladimir Vladimirovich will look unsportsmanlike when he beats the hell out of you, a much weaker opponent,” he said.

The strongman leader even suggested the billionaire to get training at the Russian Special Forces University, Akhmat Fight Club. “You will return from the Chechen Republic a completely different person Elon, that is, Elona,” wrote Ramzan Kadyrov.

However, the Space X founder sarcastically reacted to Kadyrov’s statement and tweeted, “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,” he added, signing off as “Elona”.

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
