I mean he still is - he's just a really fit, lanky, computer nerd.
A really fit, lanky, computer nerd VS a pot smoking loudmouth engineer.
Should be an interesting 1 minute 30 seconds fight.


I feel like I need to point out that Musk is a pot smoking loudmouth.  He's not an engineer.  He has bachelor degrees in physics and economics.

Zuckerberg on the other hand dropped out of Harvard computer science once Facebook started growing.  So I guess computer nerd still works.

If zucks pulls of a "why are you hitting yourself" during the match it'll be glorious.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Are they actually going to fight? It's not just internet posturing?

Probably not. More so because I don't think musk would. But it'd really be funny to watch. All 30 seconds of it.

Almost certainly just Musk shitposting.

Zuck might have actually done it.  But then again it's clear he'd win.

Musk hired Georges St-Pierre to train him.  Assuming GSP doesn't resign before the presumed fight, he's going to last at least 1min.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Duly noted.

I cannot tell how pointy the elbows are, but man do those knees look like raw meat.

For the training to have any effect on performance Elon would have to actually train, unlike most of his accomplishments he cannot simply take credit for the work of others and hope to survive.

That's why I said "assuming he doesn't resign".  If Musk isn't serious in his training, GSP will quit.

Why would he turn down money for nothing?  He already apparently accepted money to work with Musk, once you take that plunge why why would he stop?

And Musk is building an AI - which explains why he's so antsy about others scraping Twitter (and on that I see the FTC is taking action against OpenAI over the sourcing of its data).
Let's bomb Russia!

Aren't there rules against using your interests in unrelated companies unfairly?

But this isn't just twitter. Reddit's locking down is mostly in response to AI scraping I hear.

Because he is a professional, and he would prefer to work with someone who is serious.  If Musk isn't serious, he will walk away from the money.
