Battle of the Tech Titans: Zuckerberg Takes on Musk in an Epic Cage Fight
CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, known for his passion for jujitsu, a Japanese martial art, swiftly accepted a challenge from Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Twitter, to participate in a one-on-one fight inside an octagon cage. The ultimate question remains: Who will emerge as the victor?
Musk publicly expressed his willingness to engage in a cage fight with Zuckerberg through Twitter. In response, Zuckerberg shared a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption “send me the location.”
A representative from Meta simply stated, “the story speaks for itself.”
Elon Musk, also holding the positions of CEO at Tesla and SpaceX, proposed the “Vegas Octagon” as the venue for the anticipated fight, referring to the location commonly used for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bouts in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In a lighthearted manner on Twitter, Musk mentioned his playful move called “The Walrus,” where he humorously claimed to lie on top of his opponent without taking any action. Additionally, he jokingly mentioned his sporadic workout routine, stating that his physical exertion is primarily limited to playing with his children.
Meanwhile, 39-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has been actively training in mixed martial arts (MMA) and has recently achieved notable success in jiu-jitsu tournaments.
The exchanges between these two prominent CEOs have captured the attention of millions on social media, sparking passionate debates among users regarding the outcome of this highly anticipated combat. Some users have even created satirical posters related to the hypothetical fight between these influential individuals.
Earlier this month, Meta announced the development of a text-based social media platform, set to potentially launch in June. This platform aims to allow users to share real-time updates about their interests, posing potential competition for the social media giant Twitter, according to reports from the BBC.
Meta’s new platform might also offer users the ability to follow accounts they are already engaged with on Instagram, an image-sharing platform owned by Facebook, Meta’s parent company. Such functionality could potentially attract users from decentralized platforms like Mastodon.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed the development of this platform, stating, “We are exploring the creation of a separate, decentralized social network dedicated to sharing text updates. We believe there is an opportunity to provide a distinct space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests.”
