Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg cage fight
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, two prominent technology billionaires, have agreed to engage in a highly anticipated cage match.
The announcement came through a Twitter exchange between the two billionaires.
On Twitter, Musk expressed his willingness to participate in a cage fight, to which Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook and Instagram (Meta), responded by requesting the location for the match.
A spokesperson from Meta stated, “The story speaks for itself,” emphasizing the significance of the event.
Musk then proposed the location for the fight, suggesting it should take place in the Octagon in Las Vegas.
The Octagon is the designated area for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bouts, which are widely popular combat sports events.
In a series of tweets, Musk humorously shared details about his fighting strategy, mentioning a move called “The Walrus,” where he playfully lies on top of his opponent.
He also joked about his lack of exercise, except for playfully lifting and throwing his children in the air.
The inclusion of videos featuring walruses hinted at the possibility that Musk’s challenge to Zuckerberg may not be entirely serious.
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg, aged 39, has already been training in mixed martial arts (MMA) and has achieved success in jiu-jitsu tournaments.
This adds an intriguing element to the potential match between the two tech moguls.
The social media exchanges have quickly gone viral, with users on various platforms debating the likely outcome of the fight.
Memes and mock posters advertising the event have also surfaced online, further fueling the excitement.
Notably, fight sports journalist Nick Peet expressed his belief that Dana White, the president of the UFC, would eagerly embrace the opportunity to host the fight.
Peet cited Musk’s charismatic personality and eccentric character as factors that make the fight seem plausible.
However, he ultimately predicted Zuckerberg as the victor, citing his younger age and jiu-jitsu training advantage.
It’s worth mentioning that Musk has a history of making unconventional statements that may not materialize.
For instance, he previously declared his dog as the chief executive of Twitter. Furthermore, some of his previous claims, such as a hyperloop train system connecting major cities on the East Coast, have not come to fruition.
In terms of their tech rivalry, Meta recently presented its staff with plans for a text-based social network, potentially competing with Twitter.
Known as P92 in its development phase, the network aims to allow users to follow accounts they already follow on Instagram.
This move could pose a greater threat to Musk’s Twitter platform than other potential competitors like BlueSky or Mastodon.
As anticipation builds for the proposed cage match between Musk and Zuckerberg, tech enthusiasts and followers are eagerly awaiting further updates on what could become a historic event.
