Fighters need adequate time to train, and Zuck has been at it for a couple years now. Trying to rush Elon into a bout without giving him reasonable time to prepare is a weak move. It's clear he isn't as confident as he should be.

I expected this fight to take place by year end. That's more than enough time for Musk to whip himself into shape even at his age.

When seeing this on the news, I thought it was some sort of practical joke, but I've been seeing this story pop up everywhere. Can't wait to see the match, though

Don’t hold your breath.

The 23rd is when South Korea will be texting 51 million people to get into the bunker nearest them as a test. A couple other countries will be doing other nuclear preparedness drills on that day. Maybe Elon and Mark are counting on that going sideways and derailing their plans. "Sorry folks called off fight due to the end of the cease fire"

Musk first wanted to fight Putin then he challenged Zuck.

One should think that when you are the one challenging others left and right to fight in the oktagon, you do it while at the peak of your physical form.

But of course everything can happen and you have to respect a champion like Musk. A champion at running his mouth, that is.

If the fight happens and it’s not a farce it will end up like Khabib vs. McGregor

Musk is way too smart to run into this fight without training. It's simply completely insane to expect this fight to happen with 3 weeks.

> > Musk is way too smart

Is this your rational stance or you just want it to be true?

Maybe because you are emotionally attached to SpaceX and Tesla?

It is truly remarkable how people manage to get things so backwards.

Musk was the one who issued the challenge. It was his idea. If Musk isn't ready for it then he shouldn't run around inviting people out for a fight.

Musk is an attention seeking narcissist. The only weak moves here are Musk's lame antics.

Is this a serious response? I have no attachment to any company Musk owns. I own/use not a single product they have made. Maybe, just maybe, it's you who is irrational here. Disliking a person you will never interact with because he has done a few things you disagree with.

The guy has a double degree in physics and economics. The guy whose companies single handedly upended the car industry. The guy whose companies build the first viable reuseable rockets. Musk is definitely a weirdo. But denying his intelligence is wildly stupid.
