After a podcast host, Lex Fridman tweeted about a jiu-jitsu match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the SpaceX CEO suggested something better. The idea of the jiu-jitsu match could favor the Meta CEO since he recently won his first competition. Meanwhile, Musk wanted to go all out. He said, “Let’s go full MMA.”

Furthermore, the 51-year-old billionaire expressed his wish to fight inside the Octagon and even boasted about a special move that he had named ‘The Walrus’. He claimed that, in this move, he just lies down on top of his opponent and does nothing.

While Zuckerberg’s MMA experience is well documented, fans are unsure as to what kind of fighting skills Musk possesses. Furthermore, the SpaceX CEO once mentioned that he hardly works out. However, he has received an offer from former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate to train with him. Musk has even hinted that Joe Rogan could join him and take up a big role in this probable fight.
