In a bizarre turn of events, two of the most powerful tech titans are squaring off in a cage match. Yes, you read that right. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has accepted Elon Musk’s challenge to a physical fight. (deadline.com) (theverge.com) The challenge came after Musk made a jibe at Zuckerberg’s love for jiu-jitsu, which he had been posting about on Instagram. (twitter.com) Musk tweeted, “I’m up for a cage match if he is.” And wouldn’t you know it, Zuckerberg responded with three words on Instagram: “Send Me Location.” (ufc.com) (twitter.com)
Now, we’re not sure if this is all just a joke or if it’s really going to happen, but either way, it’s entertaining. (businessinsider.com) Can you imagine these two billionaires duking it out in a cage? Musk has already suggested that the fight take place in Vegas, and he even has a special move he calls “The Walrus,” where he just lies on top of his opponent and does nothing. (twitter.com) Maybe he’s hoping Zuckerberg will surrender from suffocation? (businessinsider.com)
But let’s not underestimate Zuckerberg. (businessinsider.com) He’s been known to be a fitness enthusiast and even won two medals at a recent jiu-jitsu tournament. He’s also been spotted looking pretty shredded lately and doing borderline hellish CrossFit routines to celebrate Memorial Day. So, it’s safe to say that he’s not going to go down without a fight.
It’s unclear when or where this event might take place, but the fact that both parties seem to be taking it seriously is both exciting and concerning. Are these two men really going to fight each other in a cage? And if so, what does that say about the current state of the tech industry? Is it a reflection of the cut-throat nature of the business, or is it just two guys blowing off steam? (twitter.com) (deadline.com) (deadline.com)
Regardless of the outcome, it’s clear that this cage match is going to be one for the history books. It’s not every day that you get to see two of the most powerful men in tech going head-to-head in a physical showdown. (deadline.com) (twitter.com) (facebook.com) So, grab your popcorn and get ready for the fight of the century. Zuckerberg vs. Musk, who will come out on top?
