Musk and Zuckerberg Ready for an Epic Showdown: Cage Match Antics

98

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are about to take their rivalry to a whole new level, outside the confines of the digital realm.

In a series of exchanges that quickly went viral on Twitter and Instagram, the two tech billionaires seemed to agree to a no-holds-barred “cage match” showdown.

It all started when Musk, the owner of Twitter, responded to a tweet about Meta’s rumored plans to launch a Twitter competitor called “Threads.” Musk couldn’t resist taking a jab at the potential monopolistic power of Zuckerberg, suggesting that the world would be under his complete control with no alternative options. However, a Twitter user playfully warned Musk about Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu training.

“Count me in for a cage match if he’s up for it, lol,” Musk wrote late on Tuesday.

Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook and Meta Platforms, wasted no time in responding to Musk’s challenge. In a Wednesday night Instagram story, he posted a screenshot of Musk’s tweet alongside a user’s comment urging Musk to start training, simply stating, “Send me the location.”

Interestingly, Zuckerberg himself is trained in mixed martial arts and even participated in his first jiu-jitsu tournament last month, as he proudly shared on Facebook.

In response to Zuckerberg’s request for the location, Musk proposed the Vegas Octagon as the battleground. He then lightened the tone by joking about his fighting prowess and workout routine, suggesting that the fight might not be entirely serious.

“I’ve got this incredible move called ‘The Walrus,’ where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing,” Musk quipped.

Whether or not Musk and Zuckerberg will actually step into the ring remains to be seen. Musk has a reputation for making bold statements on Twitter without always following through. Nevertheless, the banter between the two tech moguls has captured the attention of the public, leading to an outpouring of memes and posts asking people to “choose their fighter.”

While the cage match agreement may be nothing more than a playful exchange, betting on the projected winner has already begun, with DraftKings placing Musk’s odds at 140+ and Zuckerberg’s at -160 on Thursday.

The Big Big News reached out to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the organization that owns the Octagon, as well as Twitter for comments. Twitter’s response was a poop emoji, their typical automated reply to media inquiries. A spokesperson for Meta commented, “The story speaks for itself,” and Zuckerberg has not provided any further comments.

Although the actual occurrence of a cage match remains uncertain, the anticipation surrounding this rivalry has ignited excitement among fans and spectators alike.
