Elon Musk’s Twitter Live Video Goes Viral with Dumbbell Curl Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, caught attention with a widely-watched video on Friday, showcasing himself doing a dumbbell curl with a 45-pound weight.
The live session was part of Twitter’s “video feature” testing, despite the live video functionality being available on the platform since 2016.
In the 53-second video, Musk expressed satisfaction with the feature, stating, “Looks like our video feature is working better.
Thanks for the test.” He also confirmed that the “live video” feature was functioning “reasonably well,” sharing instructions on how to access it.
The video spurred humorous responses from netizens, bringing up the rumored cage fight challenge between Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Memes and jokes flooded the internet, with references to Zuckerberg’s training in jiu-jitsu and Musk being imagined as the Marvel superhero Hulk.
On the business front, tensions escalated between Twitter and Meta after the latter’s Threads app was perceived as a rival to Twitter, leading to threats of legal action.
The playful banter and intriguing developments between these tech giants continue to capture the attention of social media users and the wider public.
