Nevertheless, Fridman acknowledges Musk’s perspective that the most entertaining outcome tends to be the most likely one, expressing his unwavering support for both individuals regardless of their choices.
I did an impromptu training session with @elonmusk for a few hours yesterday. I'm extremely impressed with his strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground. It was epic. It's really inspiring to see Elon and Mark doing martial arts, but I think the world is served… pic.twitter.com/cq00A9Xnmw

Earlier, a video capturing Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s training in the Brazilian martial art of Jiu Jitsu has gained significant attention, becoming viral. The footage was shared by Lex Fridman, who has been engaged in training sessions with the Facebook founder.
The buzz around their martial arts activities began when Elon Musk, in response to news of Meta’s potential release of a Twitter rival called “Threads”, made a remark about the world being exclusively controlled by Zuckerberg with no alternative options. In a lighthearted exchange, a Twitter user playfully alerted Musk to Zuckerberg’s Jiu Jitsu training.
In response, Musk jokingly expressed his willingness to engage in a cage match if Zuckerberg was up for it. Surprisingly, Zuckerberg swiftly responded and seemed to accept Musk’s challenge.
On a Wednesday night, Zuckerberg took to his Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of Musk’s tweet alongside another user’s comment urging the Twitter owner to commence his training and concluding with the words, “Send me location”.
