Sarcasm is the first casualty of digital conversations: Musk even put a “lol” at the end of his initial response to the idea of a cage fight. You might expect the men who between them control Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to know better, but social media is an atrocious place to have any kind of discussion, which is why it so often descends into a bin fire. He’s not alone among high-profile men in testing himself this way: the actor Tom Hardy made a surprise appearance in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament in Milton Keynes last year, winning all his bouts.īut there’s also a simpler explanation for what’s happened: Musk was clearly joking and whoosh, it flew straight over Zuckerberg’s head. Latterly, he has become obsessed with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, winning a couple of medals at a competition in California. For Zuckerberg, this led to a year of eating wild boars that he killed with a bow and arrow. Both Musk and Zuckerberg have amassed unimaginable riches and both have, presumably, had to stare down the question of what a meaningful life entails. More persuasive is the theory that the fight was an extreme case of a pair of tech bros going rogue. There’s a simpler explanation for what’s happened: Musk was joking and, whoosh, it flew straight over Zuckerberg’s head If Musk and Zuckerberg were really interested in philanthropy, they could drop billions without getting a black eye and a busted ego. The UFC’s White talked of the “hundreds of millions of dollars” they would raise for charity, but no one was buying that.

Manny Pacquiao, an all-time boxing great, grew up in extreme destitution in the Philippines (last year, he ran to be president). Fighting used to be regarded as a way out of poverty.
