musk share weird live video Friday morning hours. In the video, he appeared to laugh and pan over a group of his colleagues chatting after checking his appearance.

After that, Mr. Musk picked up a dumbbell in front of everyone, did one bicep curl, and said, “This is my curl at 45, so go ahead.” Mr. Musk also joined.

Towards the end of the video, Musk clarified that “the video functionality seems to be working,” and told users, “Thanks for testing.”

Musk’s iron-pumping antics come after weeks of speculation about whether Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg would actually go down in a cage fight. A jiu-jitsu and martial arts enthusiast, Zuckerberg is tough competition for Musk.

Musk, 52, appeared to be taking his fitness seriously when he started a training session with Canadian UFC legend Georges St-Pierre in early July.

Musk confirmed in a tweet About the session: “Really fun! The obvious conclusion is that *much* more training is needed.”

However, the two tech billionaires are unlikely to actually have a physical fight, instead exchanging petty jabs with each other on their respective social media platforms.
