Billionaire Elon Musk has accepted a televised fight challenge from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro amidst rising animosity and political tension.

Musk publicly agreed to the challenge via his social media platform X, drawing widespread online reactions.

The discord originates from allegations made by Maduro that Musk orchestrated cyberattacks on Venezuela's electoral systems.

Meanwhile, Musk, a supporter of ultra-capitalism, has openly criticized Maduro's controversial election victory, labeling him a “dictator” and ridiculing him online.

The clash underscores a broader ideological conflict between Musk’s capitalist views and Maduro’s socialist leadership.

As part of the challenge, Musk humorously wagered that if he wins, Maduro must resign, but if Maduro wins, he gets a free ride to Mars.
