DESIGNING PRELIMS ROUND 2

Duel of the Titans

July 18, 2023: In a highly anticipated and unexpected turn of

events, tech billionaire, Elon Musk faced off against Meta CEO,
Mark Zuckerberg in a much-hyped cage fight. Musk, known for
his eccentric and bold statements, had declared earlier that

if he loses the fight, he would be handing over the ownership

of Twitter, Inc. to the popular YouTuber, Mr. Beast. In a
stunning twist, Musk was defeated by Zuckerberg and now,
Mr. Beast is demanding that Musk fulfill his promise.

The event, dubbed "The Battle of the Titans", took place at an

undisclosed location in Las Vegas. Thousands of spectators,
including technocrats, social media influencers, and
celebrities, gathered to witness the clash between two of the
world's most prominent tech giants.

As the cage doors closed, the crowd erupted in anticipation.

Musk, known for his audacious nature and larger-than-life
persona, entered the ring with confidence. Zuckerberg, often
seen as more reserved and calculated, appeared focused
and determined. The match was intense, with both the CEOs
showcasing surprising agility and physical prowess. However,
after several grueling rounds, it was Zuckerberg who emerged
as the victor.
After the fight, Musk accepted his defeat, congratulating
Zuckerberg on his victory. However, as news of Mr. Beast's
claim to Twitter, Inc.'s ownership spread, Musk's tone began to
change. In a series of tweets, Musk expressed his reservations
about fulfilling his promise, suggesting that the wager was
made in the heat of the moment and may not be legally
binding.

Mr. Beast, known for his philanthropy and record-breaking

challenges, wasted no time in responding to Musk's attempts
to renege on the agreement. Taking this to YouTube, he
released a video titled "Elon, Keep Your Word!". Through the
video, Mr. Beast reminded Musk of the stakes, emphasizing the
importance of one's accountability and honoring one's
commitments.

Social media erupted in a frenzy, with supporters of both Musk

and Mr. Beast engaging in heated debates about the
legitimacy of the wager. Legal experts weighed in, offering
varying opinions on the enforceability of such a verbal
agreement made in a public setting.

As the pressure mounts on Elon Musk, the tech world watches

with great anticipation to see whether he will fulfill his promise
or find a way to navigate this unexpected twist. The outcome of
this high-stakes bet could have far-reaching consequences for
social media and the tech industry at large but currently, the
fate of Twitter, Inc. lies in the balance.
In the midst of the controversy, the unlikely collision of egos and
ambitions has once again captivated the world's attention,
blurring the lines between business, entertainment and the
power of social media. The outcome of this saga will
undoubtedly leave a lasting mark on the reputation and
legacies of those involved.
