After Elon Musk recently tweeted that he would be willing to “get into a cage fight” with Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Inc. quickly responded by posting a screenshot of Elon Musk’s tweet on Instagram with the text ” Tell me the location,” while Elon Musk tweeted in response to the netizen’s tweet, “If it’s true, I’ll do it.”
Meta spokesperson Iska Saric confirmed that Mark Zuckerberg’s Instagram post was not a joke.
Elon Musk has been mocking Mark Zuckerberg on Twitter with wisecracks like “Zuck my 👅” following recent news that Meta was about to launch a Twitter competitor. At Meta’s internal all-hands meeting last week, Chris Cox, the company’s chief product officer, told employees that the company believes creators want a version of Twitter that “operates sanely. In addition, Mark Zuckerberg said in a recent interview on the Lex Fridman podcast, “I’ve always thought Twitter should have a billion users.”
In terms of tech CEOs fighting, Elon Musk versus Mark Zuckerberg seems appropriate. Musk, 51, has the size advantage, having said he was involved in “real street fights” growing up in South Africa. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg, 39, is an aspiring MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter who recently won a jiu-jitsu tournament and claims to have recently completed a grueling “Murphy Challenge” workout in less than 40 minutes. Regardless of who wins, the fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will be interesting to watch.
