Twenty five years ago, Jeff Bezos was a self-admitted nerd.
He could have cared less about his wardrobe, his hair, or the size of his yacht. $100 billion, a new girlfriend, and a high-priced personal trainer later, and he’s morphed into a superhero with biceps, $800 sunglasses, and a rocket company. But what about Mark Zuckerberg?
The creator of Facebook swung and missed so big on his company’s conversion to the Metaverse that he has spent the better part of the past year training to be a Brazilian jiujitsu. At least, that is what it seems like to Joe Rogan. He had nothing but nice things to say about Zuck’s transformation from “super-nerd” to badass tech CEO.
“Did you see Mark Zuckerberg won a gold medal in a Brazilian jiujitsu competition? Mark Zuckerberg is a f–king savage.”
Not sure who is actually running Meta while Zuck is training and competing, but whoever it is, don’t tick off the boss when he does show up at the office would be my advice. In a video of Zuckerberg’s competition, he got into a massive argument with a referee for stopping Zack’s match, thinking he had tapped out. After a few minutes, the ref realized Meta probably had access to all of his personal data, so he changed the outcome to a 0-0 draw. Smart move.
Zuckerberg won gold and silver medals in this competition. Rogan is an MMA and combat sports expert and is impressed.
“This dude has been training jiujitsu. This is what he did. He wore a COVID mask, and he f–king put a hat on, and he hid. He used an alias. Imagine you’re right about to compete in like maybe your first competition. ‘Well just give it a try. I mean, what’s the worst thing that could happen?’ Worst thing that could happen — you get strangled by a super-nerd in front of the whole world.”
Jeff Bezos vs Mark Zuckerberg, anyone?
