Battle of the billionaires: Musk VS Zuckerberg in a “cage fight”- who would win?

In what will surely be remembered as the most epic Pay Per View showdown ever, two tech moguls are gearing up to face off against each other. Elon Musk took to Twitter on Wednesday that he would be “up for a cage fight” with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Not one to back down, Zuckerberg swiftly responded by sharing a screenshot of Musk’s tweet along with the defiant challenge, “Send me the location.” The anticipation for this clash between the two billionaires is reaching a fever pitch.

“Vegas Octagon,” Musk tweeted late Wednesday. He was responding to an Instagram post by Zuckerberg who had shot back with a message of “send me location” after the Tesla boss confirmed he was up for a “cage match.”

I’m up for a cage match if he is lol

A Meta spokesperson Iska Saric told The Verge that a recent post by Zuckerberg on his Instagram account is not a joke. “The story speaks for itself,” Iska told Verge, indicating the seriousness of the matter.

The Backstory

It all started after the news of Meta developing a stand-alone, text-based social network app that could compete with Twitter. Since then, Musk has been playfully teasing Zuckerberg on Twitter, throwing out zingers like “Zuck my tongue.”

In an internal all-hands meeting at Meta last week, chief product officer Chris Cox addressed the employees and mentioned that the company believes creators desire a version of Twitter that is “properly managed,” which received enthusiastic cheers.

Moreover, during a recent podcast interview with Lex Fridman, Zuckerberg expressed his belief that Twitter should ideally have a user base of one billion people. The banter between these two tech giants continues to unfold, adding more spice to the ongoing rivalry.

So how would the fight go down? It was reported that Zuckerberg holds a white belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He trains under the guidance of Dave Camarillo, a judo and jiu-jitsu black belt, who is renowned for his work at the Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Camarillo has trained numerous UFC champions, adding to his impressive credentials in the martial arts world. Zuckerberg’s pursuit of Brazilian jiu-jitsu demonstrates his dedication to learning and honing his skills in this discipline. Zuckerberg also said that he recently completed “the Murph Challenge” workout in just under 40 minutes.

On the other hand, Musk reportedly doesn’t work out.  “I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air,” Musk said in a response to a tweet.
