LAHORE MIRROR — Elon Musk’s efforts to steer clear of any confrontation with Mark Zuckerberg are becoming increasingly evident.
Previously, Musk had entertained the idea of a cage fight with Zuckerberg, a notion that piqued public interest. He even hinted at the possibility of broadcasting the spectacle on his platform, X (formerly known as Twitter). However, Musk has since indicated a need for more time, citing a desire to ensure his physical well-being by checking his neck and back before committing to a date.
Recently, a fresh proposal has emerged. Chris Anderson, renowned for his involvement in TED talks, has put forth the notion of an intellectually stimulating debate between Musk and Zuckerberg, replacing the initial concept of a physical altercation. Musk appears to be warming up to this alternative suggestion. He expressed a desire for a civil exchange, likening it to a mental sport conducted with respect and decorum.
Maye Musk, Elon Musk’s mother, had earlier put forward a similar idea. She advocated for a verbal exchange infused with wit and humor instead of resorting to physical combat.
Musk’s shift towards this novel idea can be attributed to his acknowledgment of the disadvantage he might face in a physical confrontation with Zuckerberg. Musk is well aware of Zuckerberg’s proficiency in disciplines such as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and jiu-jitsu. While Musk remains cautiously optimistic about his chances in a swift altercation, he acknowledges that a prolonged engagement could play to Zuckerberg’s strengths due to his superior endurance.
