Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg Prepare for Jiu-Jitsu Showdown on Twitter
In a recent development, the CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, and the owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, grabbed attention with their social media interaction, suggesting the potential for a showdown between them. Presently, a photograph of Elon Musk participating in jiu-jitsu, a martial art focused on self-defense, has gained immense popularity across different social media channels.
Computer scientist and Jiu-Jitsu first degree black belt Lex Fridman posted a video of him training with the CEO of Tesla. “I did a few hours of impromptu training with @elonmusk yesterday. I’m very impressed with his strength, power and skill on the feet and on the ground,” Fridman said.

“It’s really inspiring to see Elon and Mark do martial arts, but I think the world is much better served if they do martial arts and not fight in a cage. Regardless, as Elon says, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely,” he added.
“It was fun!” Elon Musk answered. On Sunday, Fridman had posted a video of him working out with Zuckerberg and expressed his interest in working out with Musk. Fridman had previously posted a video of him training with Mark Zuckerberg. He then said that he is also looking forward to training with Musk.
“Here’s a highlight video of Mark Zuckerberg and I practicing jiu jitsu. I’m also looking forward to training with @elonmusk. It’s inspiring to see both Elon and Mark embark on a martial arts journey,” he had said.
That challenge came after Meta, which owns Zuckerberg’s Instagram, announced plans to create a text-based social media platform to rival Twitter.
Elon Musk has teased Zuckerberg with provocative comments on Twitter. According to a report by The Verge, Meta Chief Product Officer Chris Cox expressed his belief in an internal company meeting that creators want a “properly managed” version of Twitter, which drew enthusiastic responses from employees.
