Elon Musk, the major shareholder of Twitter, has ignited a challenge to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The exchange between these two tech titans began on social media, with Musk responding to a Twitter user’s question about Meta’s rumored launch of a new social networking platform called ‘Thread’, which would directly compete with Twitter.
In a sarcastic tweet, Musk suggested that Zuckerberg would soon have control over the entire earth. Another user pointed out that Zuckerberg has a background in jiu-jitsu, prompting Musk to boldly claim that he wouldn’t hesitate to engage in cage duels (mixed martial arts) with him.
Zuckerberg, seemingly accepting the challenge, responded on his Instagram by asking for the location of the duel. Musk promptly suggested Las Vegas Octagon, the arena where UFC fights take place.
The potential confrontation between these two billionaires caught the attention of Dana White, president of the UFC. White confirmed in an interview with ‘TMW Sports’ that he had spoken to both Musk and Zuckerberg, noting their seriousness about the fight. He went on to predict that the match would be the greatest of all time, breaking pay-per-view records and raising hundreds of millions of dollars for charity.
White, always driven by what the public desires, expressed his willingness to make the fight happen if both parties were truly committed. Musk, who had a background in street fighting and training in taekwondo and judo, seems ready for the challenge. On the other hand, Zuckerberg recently surprised many by participating in a Jiu-Jitsu competition and winning gold and silver medals.
The outcome of this epic clash between two tech giants turned fighters has captured the curiosity not only of martial arts enthusiasts but also of the general public. If all goes as planned, it could become a must-watch event, showcasing the power and determination of these influential individuals.

The war of nerves between Musk and Zuckerberg, the world’s No. 1 and No. 9 signs, respectively, began on social media on the 22nd.
A Twitter user asked Musk, “There are rumors that Meta is launching an SNS called ‘Thread’ as a competitor to Twitter.” “Can you become a rival to Twitter?”

After seeing the question, Musk responded with a sarcastic tweet, saying, “The whole earth will be in Zuckerberg’s hands.”
Another user said, “Zuckerberg does jiu-jitsu, so be careful,” and Musk announced that “cage duels (mixed martial arts) can be done” without losing.
When Zuckerberg, who accepted the challenge, responded, “Tell me the location,” on his Instagram, Musk said, “Las Vegas Octagon.”

Attention was focused on Dana White, president of the UFC, a mixed martial arts organization. Chairman White said in an interview with ‘TMW Sports’ on the 23rd, “I spoke to Elon and Mark yesterday and they are both serious.”
Anticipating that the match between the two would be the greatest match of all time, White predicted that “the pay-per-view record and hundreds of millions of dollars in charity would be collected.”
He continued, “The fight between the two will be something that everyone in the world, not a martial arts fan, will want to see, and I’m a person who does something that the public wants to see, so if both of them are sincere, I will try to do it.”
Elon Musk, from South Africa, has revealed that he was involved in violent street fighting as a child and trained in taekwondo and judo.
