Mark Zuckerberg is creating a Twitter competitor at Instagram. The internal codename for the app is “Project 92” and it could be called Thread.
They are talking to creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run. Oprah Winfrey could join. Meta chief product officer Chris Cox talked about the project.
Mark Zuckerberg said “I’ve always thought that Twitter should have a billion people using it” on the Lex Fridman podcast.
Zuckerberg and Musk started tossing insults at each other and then a physical fight challenge was made.
Elon Musk, 51, is over 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 200 pounds while Zuckerberg is 5 feet 7 inches tall and 150 pounds. Musk says he was in real hard-core street fights when he was growing up in South Africa. Zuckerberg, 39, has been taking private MMA and Jiu-Jitsu training for the past year and has won some tournaments.
Zuckerberg completed the Murph challenge in 40 minutes. The workout consists of a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another one-mile run, all done while wearing a weighted vest.
Zuckerberg has conditioning and seemingly useful combat training. Musk spends all his waking hours building Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter and his other companies.
Elon works 80-100 hours per week running his companies while Zuckerberg is at 50-60 hours per week.
I’m up for a cage match if he is lol

Sanely run = only liberals allowed. Amirite?
A platform that is sanely run, means what, one that censors all the conservative users?? Team Musk!!

I’d pay to see that. My guess is it wouldn’t end up that interesting looking though. Unless Zuckerberg got lucky he’d only get a couple kicks or punches in before Musk took him down on the mat and overwhelmed him with size and strength advantages. Half a foot and 50lbs+ makes a lot of difference.
I’d like to see a tech billionaire Jeopardy championship which compared to this seems pretty normal. Get Gates, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, maybe even Steve Ballmer, Larry Ellison, etc. Have them each kick in $100M to the pot and compete for whose charity gets the biggest share. They are all smart guys who think of themselves that way and they share some specialized domains for detailed jeopardy .
By above Zuck is Trained Musk is not conclusion Musk would lose .. but more importantly what message are these two powerful men who are both leading AI sending out that we sort our differences with violence?
How else do we chose who runs Wakanda?
Why yes AI would never learn about violence from humans apart from this charity bout. That’s definitely the airtight, winning argument.
“Musk spends all his waking hours building Twitter” .
Like watching a toddling with bricks. Other than a fine example of entropy, theres not a lot of actual building going on.
LOL @ haters. Twitter is a viable company now so he did something nothing of the previous clowns could do.
