    Zuck is a well known BJJ hobbyist and from all accounts he's pretty good for an amateur. Musk, on the other hand, is pretty out of shape. This whole thing is obviously a massive PR stunt anyway,...

    Zuck is a well known BJJ hobbyist and from all accounts he's pretty good for an amateur. Musk, on the other hand, is pretty out of shape.

    This whole thing is obviously a massive PR stunt anyway, orchestrated by two extremely unlikeable public figures trying to suckle down some more attention.

    That said, my money is on Musk, or Vince McMahon when he makes a surprise entrance at the top of the 5th.

      I'm normally dismissive of PR stunts, but this is one it might be funny to lean in on. If Meta and Twitter see a significant usage spike after a match, it would incentivize more billionaire CEOs to fight each other. Taking a silly hypothetical further, we could reach a point where all tech CEOs are replaced by pro wrestlers. Realistically none of that would play out, but it's fun to imagine for a bit.

      Zuck will win. No doubt he accepted since Meta is in sore need of some kinda of a win.

      Zuck would destroy him. Zuck is 10 years younger (which is honestly a little surprising, I thought Zuck was way younger but I suppose he's aged well), in good shape, and trains in combat sports in his free time. He is reportedly fairly good at it, too.

      I think the only recreational fighting Musk does is on Twitter. I doubt it actually happens, you just need to look at the difference in physique between the two, even Musk should know that.

      Zuck. He has extraterrestrial lizard person advantage.

      Jokes aside (or are they?), in addition to what other commenters have said, I feel like elon would try to "train" by taking steroids or SARMs... and that's it. No actual training. He just seems the type who thinks that if you eat steroids, the muscles just grow themselves, no training or skill required.

    I'm not seeing any downside to this. I couldn't care less what happens to either one, though I'm guessing they're trying to follow the Trump "formula" to the presidency? Apparently doing wrestling doesn't preclude a person from attaining the presidency, though I guess Lincoln broke that barrier awhile ago.

        Yea, I imagine "cage match" in the context of billionaires is either them wearing the oversized boxing gloves that barely do any damage, or would have them paired up with actual pro wrestlers who would do most of the advanced moves, with them doing a stupid take down ("Here comes Zuckerberg with a chair!") or or get fake punched or something. What I would prefer to see is one or both of them getting their teeth knocked out, but no way that's ever happening.

        Yes, but at a much slower rate. Partly because they're independently funded, as opposed to having money from Maker, and then Disney.
