In a previous X post on Sunday, Musk shared, “Am lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight,” humorously mentioning that he integrates his workout into his work routine by bringing weights to the office due to time constraints.
When questioned by a user on X about the purpose of the fight, Musk retorted, “It’s a refined manifestation of conflict. Men have an affinity for warfare.”
