MMA has well and truly encapsulated Mark Zuckerberg attention just a few years ago, so much so he has recently been taking part in Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions and winning.
Although Musk admitted he is out of shape, he does however have combat sports experience as he used to train in judo, Kyokushin karate, and taekwondo during his youth.
Some of Elon Musk’s fans have switched their predictions after seeing the recent picture of Zuckerberg.
“My money was originally on Musk but Zuck making a real strong case at this point,” one fan stated.
Another fan wrote: “This is not looking good for Elon, please get in shape. The future of social media hangs in the balance!” Elon gotta get rid of the pot belly and get in shape. Hate to say it, but if Zuck meets Elon in a ring, he’s destroying him in a min.”
