Elon muskโ€™s controversial statement: calls to boycott biological men in womenโ€™s sports!

 

 

Imane Khelif clinched a dominant win over Angela Carini in boxing at the Olympic Games, sparking a controversial debate on social media which Elon Musk joined

Elon Musk issued a one-word response to the news that an Algerian boxer deemed to have male chromosomes won a fight at the Paris Olympics โ€“ and sparked controversy. On Thursday, Imane Khelif defeated Italyโ€™s Angela Carini in the 66-kilogram weight class, leading to a divisive conversation on social media which Musk chimed in on.

The fight between Khelif and Carini lasted just 46 seconds before Carini went to her cornermen toย call off the fight. At the North Paris Arena, a single first punch from Khelif dislodged Cariniโ€™s chinstrap and a second on her chin left her shorts bloodied.

The Italian returned to her corner and raised her hand before falling to her knees. A tearful Carini refused to shake Khelifโ€™s hand after the Algerian was declared the winner.

Cariniโ€™s coach Emanuele Renzini admitted that quitting the match wasnโ€™t on the table heading into the bout. He questioned the fairness of the contest, saying: โ€œIt would have been easier not to show up, because all of Italy had been asking her not to fight for days. But Angela was motivated and wanted to do it

โ€œOf course, when she met her opponent at the draw, she said โ€˜Itโ€™s not fair.โ€™ But there was no premeditation here today She quit after taking one punch, she told me she didnโ€™t feel she could fight.โ€

The conversation has dominated social media throughout the day.ย University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gainesย took to X to post: โ€œMen donโ€™t belong in womenโ€™s sportsย #IStandWithAngelaCariniย Letโ€™s get it trendingโ€ โ€“ along with a fire emoji.

Musk responded to the post, weighing in with his thoughts on the matter. He replied: โ€œAbsolutelyโ€
