Tech world showdown!
The rivalry between tech moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has taken an unexpected turn as Musk openly challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight on Twitter. In a recent tweet, Musk expressed his willingness to step into the ring, and Zuckerberg swiftly responded, fueling speculation that this could be more than just a playful exchange.
Contrary to expectations, the challenge appears to be serious. Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, took to his Instagram account to post a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption “send me location.” A spokesperson for Meta confirmed that the post was not a joke, putting the ball firmly in Musk’s court. The anticipation surrounding their potential face-off is palpable.
Musk wasted no time responding, suggesting that the fight should occur in the “Vegas Octagon.” In true Musk fashion, he added a touch of humor, mentioning a signature move he calls “The Walrus,” which apparently involves lying on top of his opponent and doing nothing.

This clash of titans stems from Musk’s recent taunts towards Zuckerberg on Twitter, including the provocative phrase “Zuck my 👅.” It all started when Meta unveiled details about its upcoming Twitter competitor, prompting Musk to take jabs at Zuckerberg’s social media platform. The rivalry escalated during an internal meeting at Meta, where chief product officer Chris Cox mentioned the desire for a “sanely run” version of Twitter, which received enthusiastic support from employees. In a podcast interview with Lex Fridman, Zuckerberg expressed his vision of Twitter reaching a billion users.
In terms of physicality, Musk, aged 51, possesses the advantage with his larger build and boasts of his experience in “real hard-core street fights” during his upbringing in South Africa. On the other hand, the 39-year-old Zuckerberg is an aspiring MMA fighter who has already achieved success in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. He also recently completed the grueling “Murph Challenge” workout in under 40 minutes, showcasing his physical prowess.
While the outcome of such a fight remains uncertain, one thing is for sure—witnessing Musk and Zuckerberg go head-to-head would be an incredibly entertaining spectacle. The allure of this clash of tech billionaire CEOs is irresistible, and fans around the world are eagerly awaiting further developments. Musk, don’t back down now—the world wants to see this showdown happen.
