— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 22, 2023 In later tweets, Musk, the world’s richest man, said “if this is for real, I will do it.” He proposed the Las Vegas UFC Octagon as a venue, and jokingly described his typical workout — throwing his children in the air — and his combat technique — lying on people in a maneuver he calls “The Walrus.”
Zuckerberg also recently shared details of his fitness regime, including success in a jiu-jitsu tournament and completing the “Murph challenge” — running a mile, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another mile, while wearing a 20-pound weighted vest — in 40 minutes.
