Mark Zuckerberg agrees to Elon Musk cage match challenge

After Elon Musk lately tweeted that he can be “up for a cage struggle” with Zuckerberg, the Meta CEO shot again by posting a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption “ship me location.”

I’ve confirmed that Zuckerberg’s publish on his Instagram account is, the truth is, not a joke, which implies the ball is now in Musk’s court docket. “The story speaks for itself,” Meta spokesperson Iska Saric instructed me.

After this story was revealed, Musk responded with two phrases: “Vegas Octagon.” He then tweeted: “I’ve this nice transfer that I name ‘The Walrus,’ the place I simply lie on high of my opponent and do nothing.”

When it comes to tech billionaire CEOs actually preventing, Musk versus Zuckerberg can be nearly as good because it will get. Musk, 51, has the higher hand on Zuckerberg when it comes to sheer bodily measurement, and he has talked about being in “actual hard-core avenue fights” when he was rising up in South Africa. In the meantime, Zuckerberg, 39, is an aspirational MMA fighter who’s already profitable Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. He additionally claims to have lately accomplished the grueling “Murph Problem” exercise in just below 40 minutes.

No matter who would win, I feel we are able to all agree {that a} Musk-versus-Zuckerberg match can be some of the entertaining fights of all time. It must occur. Don’t again down now, Musk.
