Photo: Elon Musk, Georges St-Pierre pose after apparent training session
An internet offer recently became a reality, according to UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre.
Shown in an Instagram post Monday, St-Pierre posed for a photo with billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk after an apparent training session. Also pictured is esteemed jiu-jitsu instructor John Danaher and famed computer scientist-turned-podcaster Lex Fridman.
“Great training session with 3 men I really admire,” St-Pierre wrote. “Combined IQ in this photo is 1000. Not including me.”
Musk reacted to the photo’s publication shortly therafter.
“Really fun!” Musk wrote on Twitter. “The obvious conclusion is that I need a *lot* more training.”
