Honestly, part of me is downright tickled that the mainstream media is spreading the story of the Zuckerberg vs. Musk fight and having to explain the meaning of the phrase “Send me the location” to an audience of Normans.

Dan Hellie
The hype for Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg would be incredible.
First reaction: Zuck would destroy it. Trains actively and everyone agrees is pretty good.
Upon closer examination: there is a huge discrepancy in size. Elon is 5 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier
Result: Sugar -150

Only interested in E-Lawn vs. The Zuck Man if it’s a fortune-for-fortune match. The winner gets Facebook/Twitter. Special guest referee Jake Paul. Jake Dorsey suspended in a cage above the ring.

Elon and Zuckerberg go head-to-head to promote the first MMA fight in the meta verse promoting their company’s advancements in VR and AI.
But I’m for the PPV if they accept #BTC 🤣

“When it comes to ideal body type, general stamina and cage fighting skills, Mark Zuckerberg would have the upper hand. With a high protein, healthy diet and demonstrative skills in mixed martial arts, he would most likely win 🤣🤣🤣

Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg odds – what do you think they would be?
Zuckerberg should be favored despite being smaller, IMO. He’s in better shape, younger and most importantly actually training MMA.

So it will be in another promotion not related in any way to the UFC…because Dana doesn’t do gimmick fights, ok…ok 😏😏
