Elon Musk is now floating the idea of having a 'noble' debate with Mark Zuckerberg instead of a tech bro cage fight

It looks as if Elon Musk is trying really hard to get out of his cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg.

On Sunday, the billionaire said his fight with Zuckerberg — if it happens — would be live-streamed on his platform, X. But the same day, Musk said he needed to get his neck and upper back examined before fixing a date.

"May require surgery before the fight can happen. Will know this week," Musk tweeted.

And now Musk is floating the idea of having a "noble" debate with Zuckerberg instead of throwing hands. The TED curator Chris Anderson proposed having a "cage match DEBATE" between the two billionaires, and Musk seemed game for it.

"Here's a better idea: a cage match DEBATE 'How to Build an Amazing Future,'" Anderson tweeted on Tuesday.

Musk appeared to agree with the suggestion, tweeting that a debate sounded "like a good idea too."

"This is really fighting as (I believe) a noble sport," Musk replied. "We also hope, with humility, to express our admiration for those who have fought before for noble causes."

Anderson's proposed alternative is similar to what Musk's mother previously suggested he do. Maye Musk tweeted in June that her son and Zuckerberg should "fight with words only" instead of beating each other up.

"A verbal fight only. Three questions each. The funniest answers win. Who agrees?" Maye Musk tweeted in June.

Musk may not have taken his mother's advice then, but he seems to be warming up to the idea now and for a good reason. Musk's chances of beating Zuckerberg in the ring are slim, considering the latter's MMA training and jiu-jitsu medals.

Musk, too, has been realistic about his odds of winning the fight.

"If the fight is short, I probably win. If long, he may win on endurance," Musk tweeted Sunday.

Representatives for Musk at X did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.

laaaaaaaaame

Pusssssssssy

Off topic OP,

I have been to Vancouver Island / Victoria before a few times in the summer, How is the golf season in the winter? Can you golf year round? Is it a damp cold? Gloomy?

Definitely can golf. We usually get snow maybe 3 times a winter where I am. Victoria rarely gets snow. Every winter is different now it seems. I remember golfing on Dec 26 in the sunshine one year.

Musk realized that Zuck is really a robot so he doesn’t stand a chance. It happens

what a bitch

Smart decision. Zuck is younger, in better shape and actually trains MMA properly. Elon was going to get destroyed.

If he actually gets surgery then it's whatever, would have to be really jacked up to get back/neck surgery.

If he doesn't and backs out though... will be very disappointing?

Zuck do give dat terminator vibes doe.
