“I offered my services. I texted him. I said, ‘Dude I will arrange all of your training.’ ‘If you really do fight Putin,’

“I said, ‘I will arrange all your training’. It would be so f***ing epic.” 

Asked what the combat code would be, Rogan replied: “I would say martial arts. You’d have to do martial arts.

“You’d have to, like, an MMA fight. It’s 2022. Y’know, f*** the boxing.”

Musk, 50, stands 6ft 1½in compared to Putin, 69, whose height is largely disputed but believed to be around 5ft 7in or maybe even lower.

Rogan added: “First of all, he’s a very big man. He’s not small. And Putin is smaller than me. Elon is quite a bit bigger than him.” 

Musk doubled down on his challenge, tweeting: “If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only my left hand, and I am not even left-handed.”
