¿Musk and Zuckerberg play a jaula? Parece broma, pero quizás no lo sea

In June, when Elon Musk met with Mark Zuckerberg and called social media “a year later,” Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White recorded a text message.

Era Zuckerberg, director of Meta, who was hired by White, director of marcial arts competence mingled in the world so important — that there was an octagon in octagons with jaula-forma — and Musk was serious about playing movies .

Musk’s White Llama, Tesla’s, Twitter’s and SpaceX’s, and confirm that there is a warrior. White broadcast to Zuckerberg. En respuesta, Zuckerberg posts on Instagram: “Envíame Ubicación”, a reference to the title of Khabib Nurmagomedov, uno de los atletas más premiados of the UFC.

From the time White was on the job until now, he’s gotten more and more multi-billion dollar techies to self-organize. Confirm that July 27 had a phone conversation “hasta las 12:45 am con esos dos”. Y añadió: “ambos quieren hacerlo”.

If a person plays a big part in his men’s world, there is a big publicity campaign for the social reason, reconsider.

White is one of the greatest seasons of the world, Musk and Zuckerberg, with the ayuda de asesores, han negociado between bastidores and están avanzando poco a poco hacia the combate fisico. If you have no guarantees that you will find a cabo la pelea, the terms and conditions of the event are final, confirms White and three personas with conocimiento de las conversaciones.

White señoló que la pelea sería de exposition en quedaría fuera de los acuerdos derechos y la jurisdicción oficial de UFC, aunque él ayudaría a producir el evento. White is a person who is familiar with the topics of conversation that encompass the technical aspects of governance, including a component of philanthropy, and this is a myriad of details. If you prefer Las Vegas, you need the abolition of the Comisión Atlética de Nevada. El Jueves, Musk tuiteó that the event takes place in the Coliseo Romano.

In general, los amigos y asesores de Zuckerberg han apoyado la pelea, various personas cercanas en, some others who were a pelea sería a distraction and not a great manera of emplear su tiempo. A persona cercana and Musk said that, a single time can be deported and there is no parecía that has the discipline to study regularly, no podía descartar nada con él.

Whether Musk, the 52 años, and Zuckerberg, the 39, adelante, sería a espectáculo fuera de lo común, including a university world of industrial technology fanfarronería. When Steve Jobs and Bill Gates Solían atacarse, there are more cercanos about the actual points of contention that the world of the technological knowledge of the future has entre multimillionaires lovers and los yates with Larry Ellison from Oracle and Hasso Plattner from SAP.

¿Pero dos titanes of the technología multimillionarios peleándose, golpeándose and pateándose in an estadio of Las Vegas or Roma? Nadie lo habría sonado.

Meta se negó a hacer comments. Musk did not respond to a request for comment.

For a long time, Zuckerberg and Musk han vacilado between their competitors, friends and absolute opponents. Ambos are critical of several incidents involving Musk’s SpaceX, loose more personal data nl Meta y más. Anyway, Zuckerberg geared up Meta to become a competitor to Musk’s Twitter, he got a name in Proyecto 92.

If your rivalry is much bigger, White has dealt with several financial differences between the multimillionaires. From age 13, the difference between Musk and 31 kilos differed more than Zuckerberg. In the official fight of MMA, the general contrincantes are emparejan por peso.

“Tenemos has different categories of people that are different from each other,” White said. Without embargo, “será la pelea más grande en the historia de los deportes de combate”, commentary.

Zuckerberg is especially familiar with the world of the UFC. During the last 18 months, they have had a personal fight to get muscular and profunded in brasileo jiu-jitsu an arte marcial de agarre in the que los competitions intentan someter a su oponente y que se usa en las peleas de UFC .

In 2021, Zuckerberg became interested in distractions, mainly in his own garage, creating a “mini academia” with a circle of friends who worked alongside him. You may wonder if a jiu-jitsu brasileño requires “100 concentration concentrations” and an estrategic pensamiento to perform an oponente en vez de fuerza bruta.

Zuckerberg has called on marciales experts, including Dave Camarillo, James Terry and Khai Wu. In May, compitió in the first public battle of artes marciales in Redwood City, California, who has had a great moment to leave the sombrero and the last moments to play. Ganó medals of oro and plata in content.

Now, Meta también has announced that it is associated with the UFC to mix the martial arts with Horizon Worlds, or a virtual realidad application.

White told Zuckerberg it was really dedicado al deporte.

“He lived with Zuckerberg in his lifetime,” he said. “Y nunca hay algo como bromas o que estemos bromeando y riendo”. Dijo que el jefe ejecutivo de Meta era “totalmente serio todo el tiempo”.

It is likely that Zuckerberg is in shape to play. As one of the restrictions of immersion, corriendo y retando a amigos y colegas a batir sus tiempos, según dos personas cercanas a el. And mayo, batio su record personal al complete with “Murph”, If you have a series of lagarties and dominance, correr several kilometers and you get cientos de sentadillas, to do it with an army of antibalas.

“Practicar deportes que basicamente requieren toda tu atención, creo, es realmente importante para mi salud mental and para mantenerme concentrado en todo lo que estoy haciendo”, wrote a recent episodio de podcast.

Musk, por otro lado, tuiteó que “casi nunca” has ejercicio y una vez sufrió a lesion en la espalda you need a circuit to participate in an exhibition with a luchador de sumo. El me passado dijo que se había entrenado en “judo, Kyokushin (o full contact)”, dos artes marciales japonesas, and “peleas callejeras sin reglas”.

“Musk lo dejó muy claro: ‘No voy a perder peso,'” White said of Musk’s estrategia for the possible enfrentamiento. Y dice que también le preguntó: “¿Vamos a pelear o no vamos a pelear?”.

Last weekend, Lex Fridman, a podcast creator, posted public photos of judo with Musk. Fridman, who started jiu-jitsu against Zuckerberg, did not respond to a request for comment.

Al menos a persona no parece ser fan de que se lleve a cabo la pelea: Maye Musk, la madre de Musk.

“¡No fomenten esta pelea!”, tuiteó anyway, junto con dos emojis frunciendo el ceño.
