“Hi Elon, do you think future robots can win medals at the Olympics with their hands in their pockets? How about discussing this in Istanbul, the cultural capital that unites continents?,” Yusuf Dikec, who went viral with his sensational ‘swag’ pose as he won silver medal in the 10 meter air pistol mixed team event at the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside teammate Seval İlayda Tarhan, asked CEO of Tesla and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk in an X post. X is owned by the billionaire.

The Tesla CEO has not responded to the question by the Olympian yet.

Interestingly, Musk had shared a meme involving Yusuf Dekec to take a dig at the rivals of his X, Meta-owned social media platform Facebook.

Dikec stormed the internet on Thursday and became a toast to his nation and beyond as his gear-less attire attracted everyone’s attention in Paris.

In a rare showing, Dikec opted to enter the event in a no-gear look, which means unlike most Olympic shooters, he did not wear a specialised jacket or eye gear for the event. He entered the event wearing a t-shirt and pants along with simple spectacles and took home the silver medal by scoring 14 points along with his partner in the gold medal match against Serbia (16).

His ‘uber-cool aura’ soon came to light and turned into a meme fest as netizens from all around the globe started talking about his unique style. However, his partner Tarhan cleared that he carried a lot of anxiety and pressure on his heart during the event.
