The idea was all a joke: the two tech moguls, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, however, now seem very serious about their future confrontation. This is in any case the case with Elon Musk, whose training photos are becoming more and more regular.
His “trainer,” MMA champion Georges Saint-Pierre, tweeted a photo on July 4 of him, Musk, podcaster Lex Fridman, a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu (Mark Zuckerberg’s discipline) and martial arts champion. . John Danaher. The photo was also tweeted by Lex Fridman.
Elon Musk then replied: “That was good! The obvious conclusion is that I still need a lot of practice.” The head of Twitter also responded to the photo of Georges Saint-Pierre with the phrase “it was an honor”.
From the joke to the ring
Lex Fridman had previously had the opportunity to train with Elon Musk, admitting to having been “impressed by his strength, his power and his ability, on his feet and on the ground” during a session in late June. He also did it with Mark Zuckerberg, who also shares his discipline of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
The “fight” between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, first mentioned as a joke, seems to have made its way into the minds of the two business leaders, whose rivalry no longer has secrets from anyone, in the city as in business.
The event, if it takes place, is expected to be held in Las Vegas, and more likely next year, though it is, for now, just a verbal contest on social media.
