Mark Zuckerberg of Meta has accepted a challenge to a cage match from Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter. The challenge came after Twitter competitor Meta announced the launch of a new text-based social media platform. Musk responded to a post about Meta by challenging Zuckerberg to a cage match, to which Zuckerberg replied, “Send me location.”
Although this may seem like online posturing, a spokesperson for Meta has confirmed that Zuckerberg is not joking about participating in a fight. Musk has since proposed a fight at the Vegas Octagon.
It’s difficult to imagine either billionaire engaging in a physical altercation, but Zuckerberg has trained in Brazilian jiujitsu during the pandemic and even competed in his first tournament last month. Musk has previously boasted about participating in “real hardcore street fights” as a child growing up in South Africa.
The beef between the two tech moguls comes as Meta prepares to launch a new social media platform, which the company’s chief product officer, Chris Cox, has teased as being a “sanely run” alternative to Twitter. The company is reportedly in talks with notable figures such as Oprah and the Dalai Lama to become early users of the platform.
In the end, it remains to be seen whether the cage match will actually happen. Either way, it’s clear that the rivalry between Zuckerberg and Musk is heating up, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the tech world.
