According to Business Insider, Musk recently expressed confidence in his ability to outlast his opponent. The Twitter buyer disclosed that he weight 300 pounds, noting he stands a chance to win the upcoming cage match.

An X user, Ed Krassenstein, shared a "fight card" photo of the two tech titans. The graphic says the Tesla big boss is "6'2" tall and weighs "197 lbs," adding that Musk is "built like a crash-test dummy."

On the other hand, the "fight card" adds that Zuckerberg is "155 lbs." Krassenstein described the Facebook founder as "one of the stronger nerds you will meet."

However, Musk responded to the post, revealing that he weighs "at least 300 lbs." Given that, he believes that "if the fight is short, I probably win."
