Topic: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? - page 14. (Read 3190 times)

I'm not sure what Mark perceives the fight to be. Does he really mean it, or is it just a temporary goal to get in shape? Because I don't get why he has to train with Israel, a Nigeria-born UFC fighter.

I'm wondering because I haven't heard anything about Elon Musk working out recently in preparation for Mark's fight.

Let this cruise, in which the two parties have only recently begun that they are going to fight one another, come to an end so that we can stop expecting the unthinkable.

I know this is a joke. Elon can't fight Mark anyway. Because Mark has a really fit body and does sports regularly. On the other hand, Musk does not have a good body. Also, I've seen him smoke pot before on a radio show. Elon is more witty and smarter. But he doesn't stand a chance against Mark. I think he knows that too. That's why he's only bringing this up as a joke. I don't think they will ever fight. But this issue will probably continue to be on the agenda for a while in the world of magazines.

I hope you are not serious when you use arguments such as Zukerbergs has now two medals from bjj tournament and Musk is a black belt in bjj. What was that bjj tournament? Tournament for white belts in Silicon valley? Beaten some IT nerds and now everything thinks he is good at bjj. And all of a sudden Musk has a black belt. Who gave him that? Seems to me the photo that was featured here was just a nice photo for article. Besides, having a black belt does not mean its owner has special skills. For example UFC is full of bjj black belt owners, but failed to defend against blue or purple

Well, things are definitely getting heated up as Elon's Twitter has or is in the process to file a lawsuit against Meta for launching a rival app called Threads.

This new app has already gotten more than 10million downloads and the count is climbing.

Perhaps this is really a sure sign that the said fight would happen. I doubt still, that the proposed fight has got anything to do with physical exchange of blows and aggressive punches.
It looks more like a chess board kinda move fight, with lawyers and a grand jury and the world markets, online/offline bet sites, including DEX, all paying attention to each of their next moves.

At this point I am not even sure whether this fight is actually going to take place or not though. To me it seems that the only fight we are going to witness is a legal fight for the dominance of the Twitter-like ecosystem or rather, a fight for the market of micro blogging.

However, knowing of attention seeking Elon is, I would not be surprised if he liked the idea, Mark is not as attention seeking as him, so I am not sure he would be willing to get punched in the face.  I still believe Elon might have a little bit of advantage over Mark.

I think I will take back my word that the fight will come, it seems that it is not. The fight was likely a cold war and what we see now was the fight between who was better of having inventions in the digital space, I think Mark has an advantage if it's the case. Threads was likely a provocation of Mark but Elon wants to fight it in legalities.

There are different sources stating different things about Zuckerberg and Musk. What you just wrote is quite the opposite of some of the things that I have read over the last two weeks or so.

I read that Musk did take martial arts lessons, but that is many years ago when he last took the training seriously. Obviously, I can't verify what is true. There current fitness conditions are of course important and now that Zuckerberg posted a foto of himself with MA fighters, he is in great shape. I can't tell whether Musk is able to go a second round without collapsing from breathing problems or whether he is really in a good shape right now.

But it is funny that Zuckerberg now came out with a foto showing his body. Could this really take place?

I don't think there will be a real fight between Mark and Elon, but if I had to place a bet, I would go for Mark just because looks like he is in better shape, but I feel like Elon's punch is stronger.

The real fight between these guys is with their social networks, the fact that Musk started the new social network called Threads is proof that the fight is on. I don't really think people will jump from Twitter to threads, the fact that all the social networks are under the control of the same person isn't good for humanity.

Well, if we will bet for a fight between a man who took some lessons in martial arts and trained for at least five times a week vs a man that is couch potato but let's say that the latter is 20 years younger, I'd say 25 years old. Do you honestly think that the latter have a chance of defeating the 45 years old who trained in martial arts? Obviously, the answer will be no. The couch potato would be knocked down within a single round and that is for sure.

But since this fight is about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, let me give you some facts about their background:

Elon Musk: Trained in martial arts since he was 6 years old up until now, specifically Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is also black belter.
Mark Zuckerberg: Trained and studied martial arts since 2020 and have won two medals in a tournament just recently.

I think I will take back my word that the fight will come, it seems that it is not. The fight was likely a cold war and what we see now was the fight between who was better of having inventions in the digital space, I think Mark has an advantage if it's the case. Threads was likely a provocation of Mark but Elon wants to fight it in legalities.

It's funny, they were actually studying martial arts when they announced they wanted to run the fight.
But I don't think the fighting abilities of the two of them will be perfect because they learn instantly and quickly.
I also read on Twitter as shared by @Oasismen, Zuckerberg who practices martial arts with professional UFC fighters and this could make Zuckerberg a little ahead of Elon Musk later when their fight is held.

when i saw this picture on twitter the first thing that came into my head was: why have these rich people been doing dangerous things in the last few months and why do they seem to behave as if the whole world is going to pay attention to their nonsense? recently I have seen a lot of scary news involving very rich people, since that very sad event of the submersible, days later I saw in the news that a very large ship that had many rich people there was going through a storm and almost that the people who were on the ship would be thrown into the sea, the force of the wind was very strong, no one died because people were lucky, but I was shocked when the people responsible for managing the ship were interviewed and they said that the ship

would continue their trip to their planned place for people to enjoy their vacation, they didn't cancel the trip. then we see two rich people trying to gain attention so that their fight can be carried out, but the question I ask myself: do they have any idea that in a fight people get hurt? we're not talking about something simple, a fight is something very serious even if there are rules, even so the risk of something serious happening is very high and I don't understand why they didn't choose boxing which in my opinion would be safer for them, fighting mma and a big risk, hope they don't fight

Well, of late, I've been seeing a whole lot of discussions on Twitter as regards to thread and all that, and several persons saying that zuck copied the idea from Twitter, and not just that, there are still many other supposed unique Twitter features which alot of people claim that zuck also copied, this also includes the blue ticker verified badge..

In all of this saga, all I can say is that, zuck has alot of enemies already, the entire twitter community seems not to like him, if there will ever be a fight between the two giants, it is very likely that Elon will emerge victorious at the end of the day.

I think it’s crazy that people would look at Elon and say he’s in better shape than Mark. The guy is big alright but Mark is more fit and in better shape. This proposed fight was never to be from the start. Both men wouldn’t get anything out of fighting literally in a cage match.

Agreed. Right now we are sitting back and enjoying the Threads vs Twitter battle as it unfolds before our own eyes. My first impression is that it Threads can't replace Twitter. The biggest positive for Twitter is anonymity and fair censorship rules. These factors are not applicable to Threads. And adding micro-blogging capabilities to Instagram profiles may not work well. The target demographic is much different. The mainstream media will try to over-hype Threads, since they are unhappy with Twitter kicking out the far-left loonies who managed it earlier.

Elon Musk is one of the biggest trolls on social media. He is also an attention whore. I have no idea if this fight is really happening. Earlier today Musk proposed a "literal dick measuring contest". This all just seems like a big joke to him and he is loving the attention he's getting.

Based on eye test alone it is obvious to see that Zuckerberg is in much better shape and would probably defeat Musk with relative ease. Musk's ego won't allow him to be humiliated by his rival so he'll likely just stick to feuding through social media.

To be honest, I had taken seriously those images explaining comparisons between them and mentioning that both of them have actually studied and practiced some sort of martial art. Because in my mind it makes sense that someone with enough time and money would like to learn a bit about those things eventually. Now that you mention and point out the possibility of it being a lie, I think it is a huge coincidence both of them are alledgedly proficient on some fighting discipline.

Still, even if they were not it would be funny to see through the first 2 or 3 rounds, in my opinion. There would be good memes out of it.
