Eh. On the musk side, definitely. He saw someone he didn't like and started mocking him and challenging him to fights because musk "is bigger"
Zuck is a robot so shitty that even Simone Giertz couldn't get a video out of it and he is tied to... a decent number of stolen elections and coups and ethnic cleansings. But, when he isn't manipulating the world or making a shitty version of VR Chat, he is an amateur martial artist and has friendly "mma matches" on the weekends. This would be like asking your buddy who rents track time every few months if you can race them.
And throughout the entire thing: musk has been a loud jackass who constantly tries to weasel out (and there is no Delaware court to make him follow through this time). Whereas zuck basically said "Cool, I'll fight you. How about this time and this place?" before shifting to "You are wasting my time and everyone else's time. Call me if you ever grow up"
Like, Zuck is a monster. He is basically everything musk wishes he could be. But he has actually handled this in an incredibly mature and "adult" way.
