Billionaire Elon Musk has gone viral again after posting a picture of him fighting a sumo wrestler, NDTV reported.

Following the Musk versus Putin one-on-one fight challenge proposed by Musk on Twitter, Binance's CEO Changpeng Zhao questioned Musk’s ability to win against Putin.

Zhao tweeted on March 14, “Brother, I wish for you to win of course, but the reality is I haven't seen your kong fu video.”

The Tesla CEO, known for responding to tweets, responded to Zhao by posting a photo of himself wrestling with a sumo wrestler and tweeted “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.”

The conversation did not end here, with Zhao replying to Musk with another tweet. He went on to share his own experience and ended the post with “Rooting for ya. Please kick a*s.”

Since Musk has challenged Putin, the feud on Twitter has not died. Musk has been at war with Russian officials such as Ramzan Kadyrov and Dmitry Rogozin.
