Elon Musk took a jibe at a prominent Chinese journalist who earlier threatened the Tesla CEO after he weighed in on the Russia-Ukraine war.
What Happened: Hu Xijin, the former chief editor of the Chinese state media the Global Times, posted a screenshot of an image of Musk’s tweets about the Ukraine war earlier this week and said that he would be “taught a lesson.”
“Elon Musk has released his personality too much, and he believes too much in the US and West’s ‘freedom of speech.’ He will be taught a lesson,” Hu said.

On Thursday, Musk replied to the tweet in Chinese. Musk’s tweet loosely translates to “Men who put their hands in pockets to make themselves look self-important and confident.”

Why It’s Important: This came after Musk recently drew massive flak on social media, including from Ukrainian officials, for his provocative tweet, polling his followers on what would be the most likely outcome of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Outgoing Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, also sharply replied to Musk by saying, “F**k off is my very diplomatic reply to you, Elon Musk.”
