In a surprising event, two of the most well-known tech billionaires, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have been challenging each other to a cage fight. The exchange between the two moguls has left thousands of people wondering whether the proposition was genuine.

Musk’s Challenge

The conversation began when Musk reacted on Twitter to a claim that Zuckerberg’s Meta was developing an app similar to Twitter. Musk made a cheeky comment, sarcastically remarking that Earth couldn’t wait to be exclusively under Zuckerberg’s control. A user jokingly warned Musk not to mess with Zuckerberg, who practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has recently won two medals in a tournament. Musk responded by saying he would be up for a cage fight if Zuckerberg agreed.

Zuckerberg’s Response

Surprisingly, Zuckerberg didn’t ignore Musk’s challenge and asked for the location of the proposed fight in an Instagram post. This interaction caught the attention of the media, with reports suggesting that Zuckerberg was prepared to take on Musk. In response, Musk proposed the Octagon in Las Vegas as the venue for the cage fight. However, Zuckerberg has yet to reply to this suggestion.

Musk’s Confidence

Despite the lack of confirmation from Zuckerberg, Musk remains undeterred and believes the fight might actually happen. In a recent interview with Bloomberg reporter Ashlee Vance, he mentioned that he hadn’t started training yet but would begin once the fight was confirmed. Musk also admitted to having a low fitness level, explaining that he doesn’t usually need to fight people and spends his time according to what is necessary.

The Disadvantages and Advantages

When it comes to physical fitness, Musk has previously confessed that the only exercise he gets is playfully throwing his children up and catching them. Additionally, he weighs approximately 10 kg more than Zuckerberg and has a preference for donuts over apples, stating he’d rather eat tasty food and live a shorter life. According to an article from Total Shape, Zuckerberg would have the upper hand due to his ideal body type, general endurance, and skill in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

The Public’s Attention

While it remains uncertain whether this intriguing cage fight will come to fruition, the exchange between Musk and Zuckerberg has certainly captured the public’s attention. In the world of tech giants, this unconventional challenge adds an element of excitement and unpredictability, leaving followers eager to see how the story unfolds.
