Elon Musk-Mark Zuckerberg “Cage Fight”: Everything You Need To Know
Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg prepare for a cage fight in the popular UFC ring Vegas Octagon. Everyone sets eyes on the high-profile fight after Mark Zuckerberg accepted Elon Musk’s challenge for a cage match.
In March, Meta announced exploring plans to launch a dedicated decentralized social network to rival Twitter. Elon Musk called Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg a “copycat.” It escalated after angel investor Mario Nawfal revealed details on Meta’s Twitter rival called “Threads“, code-named Project 92. During an internal meeting, Meta showcased its new app, which is similar to Instagram and integrates the decentralized social media protocol ActivityPub, enabling users to automatically transfer their followers and user information.
Elon Musk’s reply to Mario Nawfal started the heated debate on the cage fight. Twitter users warned Musk that Zuckerberg does the Brazilian jiu-jitsu now. To this Elon Musk replied, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol”.
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 😅.

Verge confirmed that Mark Zuckerberg is “serious about fighting Elon Musk and is now waiting on the details” if Musk decides to follow through. “The story speaks for itself,” a Meta spokesperson also told the media outlet, referring to Zuckerberg’s Instagram story.
In response to Zuckerberg’s “Send Me Location” Instagram story, Elon Musk responded with two words: “Vegas Octagon.” Musk also said he has a great move for the fight ‘The Walrus,’ where “I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing.”
While it’s still unclear if the cage match is to happen or not, the reports are circulating on top in the media and social media platforms. This is the last tweet by Musk:
I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air
