OBJ participated in a rapid-fire round with ‘Bleacher Report,’ where he expressed his intention to align with either Musk or Zuckerberg based solely on financial considerations. The host asked OBJ, “Who would you bet on in a fight, Zuck or Elon? Remaining impartial, he answered, “Imma go with whoever one I can invest with.” OBJ’s prudent decision aligns with his reputation for managing his finances wisely.

The proposed face-off between Musk and Mark Zuckerberg arose in the context of a ‘cage match’ challenge that both tech giants, agreed upon in June. While Zuckerberg boasts training in martial arts, having even participated in a jiu-jitsu tournament earlier in the year, Musk’s preparations for the showdown have involved weightlifting. Musk humorously mentioned his unconventional approach to fitness, saying, “Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work.”
The origins of the cage match proposal trace back to Meta’s upcoming release of Threads, a potential rival to Twitter. Musk had expressed concerns tweeting, “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options. At least it will be ‘sane’. Was worried there for a moment.” He mentioned the possibility of a cage match when a Twitter user pointed out Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu training. Musk picked up the comment and agreed to the fight if Zuck was ready. The matter escalated and the fight is almost confirmed with more details coming up soon.
I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options.
At least it will be “sane”. Was worried there for a moment 😅.
