Musk vs. Zuck Cage Match
Since June, the two influential figures have been taunting each other with the idea of a mixed martial arts cage match. Musk, the mastermind behind SpaceX and Tesla, fuelled the flames with a tweet on June 20, expressing his willingness to face off against Zuckerberg, who is trained in jiujitsu.
Not one to back down, Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), eagerly accepted the challenge, asking Musk to “send location” for the proposed throwdown. Musk’s response, “Vegas Octagon,” sent social media into a frenzy, as fans and followers speculated on the possibility of the ultimate tech showdown taking place in the heart of Las Vegas, the city known for hosting high stakes battles of all kinds. As anticipation for the match reached a fever pitch, Musk took to X again, sharing his training preparations for the fight. “Lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight,” he posted, even revealing his unconventional approach to fitness, stating that he brings weights to work due to time constraints.
Musk’s Cryptic Message
In response to a user’s inquiry about the purpose of the fight, Musk cryptically replied, “It’s a civilized form of war. Men love war.” The remark only added to the intrigue surrounding the clash of these powerful personalities in the octagon. Meta, the parent company of X and Instagram, has remained tight-lipped about the development. When approached by Reuters for comment, they did not respond, leaving fans and the media speculating about their stance on the proposed showdown.
