After challenging Russian President Vladimir Putin to a single combat, and then threatening to bring a Boring Company flamethrower to theThunder, Musk was able to claw his way back into the conversation.

The billionaire responded to a post from the Russian space chief that seemed to criticize Musk's challenge. The brand for the CEO of the company was on display.

Fire Fight

The meme implied that Musk would be willing to fight Putin with a bear or a flamethrower. It seems to be the first time that Musk has directly threatened the life of a public official and an ex-KGB agent with his flamethrower.

It is likely that this type of escalation is a violation of the terms of service, not to mention the fact that Putin and Musk are public figures. There is a chance that the ex-boyfriend could get suspended from the platform for the tweet.

Musk wields the social network like an extension of himself, using it to manipulate markets, engage in pugilistic feuds, and drive conversation in a way that nobody has ever done before.

The Russian Space Chief responded to Musk's challenge to fight Putin.
