Ramzan Kadyrov doubts Musk has what it takes to beat Vladimir Putin, and invited the businessman to Chechnya to train for the hypothetical showdown.

The video’s accuracy has not been independently verified. Since rising to power in 2007 following his father’s assassination, Kadyrov younger has been routinely condemned by the international community for human rights abuses. Kadyrov mockingly invited the billionaire businessman to train for the fight in Chechnya and referred to him as a “gentle (effeminate)” person with the name “Elona.” Kadyrov suggested that Musk train in firearm use with “world championship special forces” at the Russian Special Forces University, who “beat U.S. special forces in 2015 like it was nothing.”
