An Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg fight seemed too good to be true. After they agreed to fight each other earlier this year, the MMA world awaited their showdown with bated breath. UFC CEO Dana White, who was trying to organize the fight, had predicted that their fight would be the biggest in the history of the world.

However, their bout seemed to have been called off after a few months. Zuckerberg talked about moving on from the fight since he felt Musk did not display any seriousness about the fight. However, on his latest appearance on the JRE podcast, Musk has indicated to Joe Rogan that the fight might yet happen.

During the course of their conversation, the two men got talking about Musk fighting ‘Zuck’. The Twitter CEO told the host that he would fight the Facebook founder anytime, anywhere, and under any rules.

Rogan told Musk that he was glad that the Tesla CEO was willing to fight a fellow social media titan and rival, Mark Zuckerberg, and do it under any discipline. “So you’ll do it under any rules? I like it. I like the fact that you’re intersted in doing this. It’s fun. It makes it fun,” Rogan said.

However, Musk was cautious and understood that this could backfire on him and be more trouble than worth, perhaps because of his health issues. “Yeah, you know this could be an exercise in hubris,” the South African billionaire responded.

In addition, the podcast host gave kudos to Zuckerberg and praised him for being up for the fight and training seriously in martial arts. The Meta CEO trains in BJJ, in which he had earned a blue belt. He also won a BJJ tournament at a California school earlier this year. “I like the fact that Zuck’s interested, too. I like the fact he trains so much,” the podcast host added.

However, given that Musk is larger than Zuckerberg, the former felt that the Meta CEO did not have many ways to defeat him in a fight. “Yeah, there aren’t very many ways to actually, if you stick to the rules of BJJ [for Zuckerberg to win],” Musk said.

The interaction between Musk and Rogan didnt end there as they had setup a fun activity. The UFC commentator got to test out the Tesla Cybertruck.

The Tesla CEO brought the soon-to-be-released Cybertruck, a fully electric pickup truck with a unique design. The company promises that the vehicle is bulletproof. And Rogan wanted to check its durability. He made a bet with Musk that he could penetrate the truck’s body with an arrow, which the latter agreed to.

Rogan proceeded to fire an arrow on to the truck, which, true to the CEO’s claims, failed to do any real damage to the arrow. The arrow exploded on contact with the side of the truck. Rogan expressed his satisfaction and certified the truck as ‘arrow-proof’.
