Elon Musk bragged about lifting '45 lb weights' on Friday. Now he says he has to get an MRI on his

neck.

(LOL)

Elon Musk may be set on live-streaming his fight with Mark Zuckerberg, but he wants to get his neck and upper back checked before fixing a date.

"Exact date is still in flux. I'm getting an MRI of my neck & upper back tomorrow," Musk wrote on Sunday night, responding to a tweet about Zuckerberg waiting for his confirmation to set a date for fight night.

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

Musk's tweet about his back problems came after he announced Sunday that the fight, whenever it happens, would be streamed live on X, which was formerly known as Twitter. The billionaire added that the fight's proceeds would "go to charity for veterans."

Musk, injuries aside, has been training for his fight with Zuckerberg. In July, Canadian UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre said in a tweet that he had a "great training session" with Musk, the podcaster Lex Fridman, and the martial artist John Danaher.

Another crime to lay at Musk's feet: He's actually making me root for Zuck!

1. He'll probably ask for a substitution--like the little Troglodyte weight-lifting MTG

The repulsion she emanates would probably win her the title, regardless.

2. Ah, ye ol delay tactic

I can’t fight you I hurt myself!

[BlueIdaho]

3. This, like most things,

Is all in Eloon’s head.

[Kennah]

4. 4.5 lbs - brag ruined by a period

[brush]

5. Hah. 45 lbs is nothing. What's he bragging about?

Very disappointed in UFC legend Georges St-Pierre for associating with that creep.

[Mossfern]

9. I'm a little old lady of 74

and until my recent back surgery, was lifting more than that.
Was he honestly bragging about lifting 45 lbs?
I was doing dead lifts of over 100 pounds and I'm a teeny nothing.

[brush]

13. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. No fan of either one but it looks like Zuck is going to kick butt..

if he's bragging about 45 lbs.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Neck spurs. Get them all the time. /nt

[GreenWave]

7. Depp, Puta, Zuckerberg: he sure takes on the behemoths.

Would like to see him fight this guy or the other:

8. I really don't care, do U?

[Brainfodder]

10. Future Zuck punching bag or is this a fake out?

Yeah, I'm not preparing at all with these UFC and pro boxers I added to the payroll, no not at all!

Ultimately don't care, but wouldn't mind a clip of them in slow motion getting hit in the face, for science!

[Lucid Dreamer]

11. I can't understand why this is of any interest.

Does anybody really care which nut wins this?

[prodigitalson]

14. I just hope they both get badly injured

I don't really care how it happens.

[louslobbs]

12. Sure...like there's not a doctor he can't

buy to say whatever he needs them to say. Mr. Musk is a top specimen, if he exercises and eats nutritious foods, with his top notch genetics, he could easily live to the ripe old age of 120…….however……lol….he has this neck thingamajig that needs to be examined further….we should have an answer on the twelfth.

15. My understanding is that Zuckerberg took up fitness fighting a few years ago.

Musk has spent that time partying. Whether or not Zuckerberg is a good "fighter", I'm pretty sure he's in better shape.

BTW, I had to haul around a 45 to 50 lb tool box and occasionally add about 20 lbs of test equipment all over shipyards 5 days a week in steel toe boots when I was Elon's age. I'm paying for it 15 years later, however - that being said, if me as an overweight 170 lb female fireplug with bad knees could do that at his age, I'm not so sure I'm all that impressed with a 45 lb lift.

16. They're both vampire-white. They'd better fight on a colorful mat or it will be hard to see them.
