While Zuck has been training in jiu-jitsu for quite some time, Musk seems to have been catching up. In a recent Twitter post, Musk wrote that he has been lifting weights to 'prepare' for his fight with Zuckerberg and responding to the tweet in a Threads post, the Meta CEO said that he is ready to fight him any day. In another tweet, Musk also said that the fight should be live-streamed.
If you are wondering all about Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk's cage fight, here is the full story in 10 points.
- The talk of the fight between Musk and Zuckerberg began when Elon reacted to the news of Meta planning to come up with Twitter competitor Threads. Reports also claimed that during an internal meeting showing the preview of the upcoming app, a top Meta executive had said that they have been ‘ hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run, that they believe that they can trust and rely upon for distribution’.
- Reacting to the news of Threads, Musk (who hasn’t really taken kindly to his competitors in the past) took to Twitter and wrote, "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 user warned Musk that he should be careful because Zuckerberg is a jiu-jitsu champ of sorts now, the Twitter owner responded that he is up for a ‘cage match’ with his tech world nemesis.
- Responding to Musk’s ‘up for a cage match’ Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg posted on his Instagram story that Musk should send him his location. "Send me location," wrote the Meta CEO along with sharing a screenshot of Musk’s tweet.
- Musk then referred to one of the UFC's top venues for fights, the Vegas Octagon and suggested it. He also talked of a special move called ‘The Walrus’ when it comes to fights.
- Eventually, the talk of this fight died down and we all went ahead with our lives. However, the two CEOs engaged in a banter yet again.
- Just recently, Musk wrote that his fight with Zuckerberg would be streamed live on Twitter and that all earnings through the fight will go towards charity for veterans.
- Responding to Musk's tweet, the Meta CEO wrote in a Threads post that they should opt for a more 'reliable platform' that can actually raise that kind of money. "Shouldn't we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?" he wrote.
- In another tweet, Zuckerberg responded that he is ready to fight the Twitter owner any day and had even suggested August 26 as the date. However, Musk hasn't confirmed the date yet.
- While Zuckerberg is a trianed jiu-jitsu fighter, Musk is also preparing for the fight and often shares update on the same.
