Title: Elon Musk Shares Unconventional Self-Defense Tip After Witnessing Russian vs. Ukrainian Soldier Brawl
Tech mogul Elon Musk has weighed in on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, sharing an unusual self-defense tip following the viral video of a Russian soldier’s close combat encounter with a Ukrainian serviceman. Musk took to Twitter to reveal his unconventional preference for close quarters combat.
"The next time you’re redoing your home, consider adding a 1917 vintage trench knife to your bedroom wall," Musk suggested, "More effective than a pistol in close quarters, I’d say."
The exchange Musk was referring to occurred during a push by Ukrainian forces to retake the village of Trudove in the Luhansk region.

Regardless, it’s clear that Musk’s public display of interest in the conflict has added another layer to an already complex situation.
