In a surprising turn of events, two of the world’s most prominent technology billionaires, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have engaged in a social media battle, culminating in a proposed cage match between the two powerhouses.
The commotion began when Elon Musk, the visionary CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, took to Twitter to proclaim his willingness to participate in a cage fight. He tweeted, “up for a cage fight” and directed the challenge towards Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram.
Responding to Musk’s tweet, Zuckerberg posted a screenshot of the message, adding the caption, “send me location.” The swift exchange between the two tech moguls sent shockwaves through the online community.
When contacted by the BBC, a spokesperson from Meta commented, “The story speaks for itself.” This cryptic statement only added to the intrigue surrounding the potential showdown.
Elon Musk further stoked the flames by proposing the venue for the fight, suggesting the famous “Vegas Octagon.” The Octagon is the designated arena for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), an immensely popular mixed martial arts competition based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Demonstrating his characteristic wit, Musk also shared some lighthearted tweets about his fighting strategy. He wrote, “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus,’ where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing,” eliciting both amusement and curiosity from his followers. In another tweet, Musk playfully mentioned his unconventional fitness routine, saying, “I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air.”
Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg, aged 39, has been quietly honing his skills in mixed martial arts (MMA) and recently achieved success in jiu-jitsu tournaments. His dedication to training suggests that he is taking the cage match seriously and will enter the Octagon with a competitive edge.
As news of the impending fight spread across social media platforms, users have been engaged in fervent debates regarding the potential outcome. Memes featuring mock posters advertising the clash have also flooded the internet, adding a humorous touch to the escalating rivalry.
In a separate development, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, recently unveiled plans for a text-based social network aimed at rivaling Twitter. Sources reveal that the platform, tentatively named P92, aims to allow users to follow accounts they already engage with on Instagram. Additionally, the new network might attract users from decentralized platforms such as Mastodon. A Meta spokesperson confirmed to the BBC that the project is currently in the development phase.
The emergence of this text-based network, P92, has sparked speculation that it could pose a more formidable challenge to Elon Musk’s Twitter than competing initiatives like BlueSky and Mastodon.
As anticipation mounts for the Musk vs. Zuckerberg cage match, the world eagerly awaits further updates and announcements from the tech titans themselves.
