Musk VS. Zuckerberg

Lifestyles

The world's technology giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are set to engage in a highly anticipated "cage fight".

Their recent online dispute captured the attention of internet users worldwide. During a Twitter interview with the media on Saturday, Musk addressed the ongoing dispute with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, as well as provided updates on the progress of the "SpaceX Starship" project.

The conflict began when it was revealed that Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, was planning to launch a competing platform to Twitter, potentially named "Threads."

Musk, who owns Twitter, responded to this news by sharing a tweet saying he was "up for a cage match".

Zuckerberg, the owner of Meta, responded with a message asking for the location, accompanied by a screenshot of Musk's tweet.

In response, Musk confirmed his seriousness about the matter, suggesting a venue for the fight by mentioning "Vegas Octagon". The Octagon refers to the fighting ring used in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) matches, with Las Vegas being the home of the UFC.

Musk, who will be turning 52 at the end of this month, also tweeted about his fighting strategy. He humorously mentioned a move called "The Walrus", where he would lay on top of his opponent and do very little movement, except playfully tossing his kids in the air.

Meanwhile, the 39-year-old Zuckerberg has been actively involved in studying mixed martial arts (MMA) and even won two medals at a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament held at a high school in Silicon Valley last month.

His Facebook post announcing the event received over 40,000 comments, including messages from UFC fighter Conor McGregor and Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Bernardo Faria.

The interactions between these two business magnates quickly went viral on social media.

Netizens engaged in friendly debates about who would emerge victorious in the proposed fight, and some even used AI technology to synthesize videos depicting the hypothetical battle.

It is reported that UFC president Dana White would be eager to host such an event.

Despite their combined fortune of $340 billion, these highly successful individuals seem to be engaging in banter reminiscent of youthful behavior.

Musk, with his ownership of Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter, and Zuckerberg, with his founding of Meta (formerly Facebook) that oversees Instagram and WhatsApp, are now playfully challenging each other to participate in physical "cage fights".

These fights take place within enclosed spaces, surrounded by cages. As social media users continue to speculate on the outcome of the fight, this story has gained significant attention.
