Elon Musk seems to be getting ready ahead of his “fight” against Vladimir Putin. The billionaire has tweeted a picture of himself sumo wrestling, after challenging the Russian president to single combat with Ukraine at stake. 

The Tesla CEO was responding to the boss of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, who had doubts about Musk’s martial arts abilities. To which Musk replied with a picture of himself grappling with a sumo wrestler. 

Sharing more clarity on the photo, Musk further added “ ‘Managed to throw him, but it cost me smashing my c5-c6 disc & 8 years of mega back pain! Finally fixed with c5-c6 disc fusion.”

Now it remains to see if either Putin or the Kremlin share their own image of a Rocky Balboa styled training montage. Until then, here are some of our favourite reactions –
