Elon Musk took aim at chess legend Garry Kasparov, calling the Russian grandmaster an “idiot” for his criticism of Musk’s effort to promote peace in Ukraine.

Despite being the world’s richest man, with a net worth of over $200 billion, Musk lives in a modest, rented home in Texas. His efforts to fund communication in Ukraine amid Russia’s attacks on its infrastructure, has cost him more than $80 million.

The peace proposal that Kasparov appeared to object to came in the form of a poll Musk tweeted on October 3. In it, he suggested conditions for peace including UN-supervised elections in Eastern Ukraine regions seized by Russia, Crimea being officially returned to Russia with its water supply guaranteed, and Ukraine not joining NATO.

Although Musk has famously focused his prodigious intellect on satellites, rockets, electric cars, and drilling tunnels, he told one Twitter user that he has played the so-called “game of kings” before.


“I did as a child, but found it to be too simple to be useful in real life: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, no technology tree, no random map or spawn position, only 2 players, both sides exact same pieces, etc.,” he wrote of chess.
