Elon Musk Calls Garry Kasparov an Idiot in Response to Criticism of Ukraine Peace Plan
SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has called chess world champion Garry Kasparov an idiot. This follows after the grandmaster condemned the billionaire's proposal for achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine, as reported by Life.
Kasparov stated on CNBC, "Why are people sitting in their mansions in Silicon Valley telling Ukraine how to run their affairs? It’s moral idiocy and geopolitical blindness." Musk did not leave this comment unanswered.
Commenting on a video of the interview with the chess player, Musk wrote, "While it is true that Kasparov plays chess almost as well as my iPhone, he is an idiot in everything else." Musk also added that he found chess to be an easy game during his childhood.
