Update (Monday):
Elon Musk, who on Sunday morning proposed a mixed martial arts cage match with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, may have found the perfect excuse to either delay or entirely call off the fight:
"Exact date is still in flux. I'm getting an MRI of my neck & upper back tomorrow. May require surgery before the fight can happen. Will know this week."

Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work.
