Speaking [on *The Good Time Show*](), a tech and culture podcast, the semi-retired wrestler HHH publicly challenged the scrawny billionaire to a fight. And not in any old wrestling ring — the wrestler wants to duke it out on Mars. "Let me address Elon Musk because I feel like there’s some disrespect going on here," HHH said on the podcast, in a tone that may have been facetious. "Because I don’t know if he has a superiority complex because he’s a rocket scientist, a self-taught rocket scientist, right? Big deal. He’s a guy that sort of revolutionized the electric car all because he wanted to fly rockets to Mars. Big deal." https://twitter.com/GoodTimeShowCH/status/1365183700518928384 ## That's Rich The WWE star also wasn't impressed by Musk's off-the-charts personal wealth. "Then, \[he\] goofs around on the Internet, flips some things around, becomes the biggest billionaire, trillionaire, or whatever he is," the wrestler said. "The richest guy in the world, which, by the way, he couldn’t maintain for long. I’m sure he’ll flip that around." ## Bring It On "Elon Musk, if you’ve got the guts, if you have what it takes to do this," the wrestler said, "then you and I will talk about what I really want to talk about, which is taking one of your rockets, launching it from Florida, going up into space, heading to Mars with a team from the Performance Center, where we then put on the largest spectacle the Universe has ever seen – WrestleMania Mars." It's still unclear if Musk is willing to throw down the gauntlet and defend his honor on Mars. **READ MORE:** [Triple H Hits Out At Elon Musk, Challenges Him To Match On Mars]() \[*The Sportster*\] **More on Musk:** *[Elon Musk Invites SEC Into Battle Over Dogecoin, Because ??!??!?!??!]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
