Elon Musk

Two of the tech world’s most high-profile figures, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have agreed to a mixed martial arts (MMA) showdown in a cage match. 
Musk initially issued the challenge via <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, to which Zuckerberg responded by posting a screenshot captioned “send me location,” indicating his acceptance.

Musk’s suggested venue for the event is the “Vegas Octagon,” a reference to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)’s competition mat and fenced-in area​​. 
Musk,&nbsp;who stands taller at 6-foot-1, turning 52 this month, humorously mentioned a fighting strategy he dubs “The Walrus,” where he would “just lie on top of my opponent &amp; do nothing.” 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 I have this great move that I call “The Walrus”, where I just lie on top of my opponent &amp; do nothing

</blockquote> 
The Tesla CEO’s lack of serious training was apparent when he admitted that his primary physical activity is “picking up my kids &amp; throwing them in the air”​. 
On the other hand, Zuckerberg,&nbsp;at 39, standing 5-foot-7, has been practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu since last September, even securing first and second places in two recent tournaments. His training has elicited positive responses from influential figures in the UFC, including Dana White and Conor McGregor​. 
The tech titans’ exchange has sparked intense social media debates, with users speculating on the potential winner and creating fight-themed memes​. 
Betting firms and odds providers have already offered preliminary odds, favoring <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/tag/meta/">Meta</a> CEO Zuckerberg with a 71% chance of winning, according to sports betting platform Oddspedia​.

Fight sports journalist Nick Peet views this upcoming match optimistically, attributing its potential realization to Musk’s eccentric character and his history of following through with his unconventional declarations. 
Nonetheless, Peet favors Zuckerberg due to his recent jiu-jitsu training and the age advantage​. 
It’s worth noting that <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/tag/elon.musk/">Musk</a> has a reputation for making grand statements that may not materialize, such as appointing his <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/elon-musks-favorite-cryptocurrency-takes-a-hit-after-twitter-logo-change/">dog as Twitter CEO</a>, or launching a hyperloop transport system​. 
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg’s Meta has plans underway for a new text-based social platform, potentially positioning it as a rival to Twitter, further fueling the competitive spirit between the two CEOs​. 
Regardless, the proposition has stirred significant interest and speculation among the public and tech community alike.
