In recent days, the much-discussed prospect of a cage fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has captured widespread attention.
The ongoing rivalry between these two CEOs shows no signs of diminishing, as both continue to fuel the enthusiasm surrounding the event. While Zuckerberg has been honing his jiu-jitsu skills for an extended period, Musk appears to be rapidly catching up. In a recent Twitter update, Musk shared his weightlifting regimen in preparation for the impending showdown with Zuckerberg. In response, the CEO of Meta posted on Threads, affirming his readiness to confront Musk at any given moment.
Musk also tweeted that the impending clash with Zuckerberg will be broadcast live on the X platform. However, Zuckerberg expressed reservations about the reliability of this choice and advocated for a more dependable broadcast medium.
The interaction between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk unfolded as follows:
In a recent tweet, Elon Musk announced that the fight with Zuckerberg would be live-streamed on Twitter, with all proceeds being donated to a veterans’ charity. In reaction, the CEO of Meta took to Threads to suggest using a more trustworthy platform capable of generating substantial charitable funds. He questioned, “Shouldn’t we opt for a more dependable platform that can genuinely raise money for charity?”
Further communication between the two CEOs took place on Twitter, with Zuckerberg asserting his preparedness to engage in combat with the owner of Twitter at any given time. He remarked, “I’m ready today. I proposed August 26th when he initially issued the challenge, but he hasn’t confirmed. Not holding my breath.”
Origins of the Feud: The exchange of banter between Musk and Zuckerberg originated with Meta’s plan to introduce Threads, a potential competitor to Twitter.
It was reported that during an internal presentation showcasing the forthcoming app, a senior executive at Meta mentioned the interest expressed by creators and public figures in a platform they could trust for distribution. Reacting to the news of Threads, Musk, known for his candid takes on competitors, took to Twitter to comment, “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options. At least it will be ‘sane’. Was worried there for a moment.”
When a Twitter user cautioned Musk about Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu expertise, the owner of Twitter retorted with a willingness to engage in a ‘cage match’ with his technological adversary.
What ensued was a series of concise Twitter exchanges between the two tech giants, frequently surfacing on our social media feeds.
