“Elon Musk invested at least $1 billion toward a coup d’etat, fascist rebellion, and violence against the electoral process in Venezuela,” Maduro said on his TV show “With Maduro +”.
This is the latest in a series of accusations put forth by Venezuela’s leader against Musk. He believes that the tech mogul is obsessed with the idea of seizing power in Venezuela and is trying to reach this goal by financing public unrest in the South American country.
Musk has been shooting back on X, the social media platform that he owns. The verbal confrontation escalated into an exchange of personal insults. In early August, Maduro suspended X in Venezuela for 10 days.
