Yes, you are not dreaming, we could well witness a cage fight between two billionaires: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The CEO of Tesla challenged the CEO of Meta, who obviously took up the challenge.
On June 20, Elon Musk provoked Mark Zuckerberg on Twitter by inviting him to participate in a cage fight, and the billionaire finally responded this morning in a story on Instagram by simply declaring ” send me the address “. If this is obviously a joke, there is still a certain liability between the two leaders.
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were never really good friends. If the two billionaires have certainly often found themselves on the same side to denounce the 30% commission charged by Apple on its Apple Store, the two magnates have a stormy relationship. Elon Musk also recommended in 2020 to leave Facebook, because the social network is “zero”.
Elon Musk and Zuckerberg could face off in a fight
Musk finally didn’t flinch when he answered “Vegas Octagon” at Mark Zuckerberg’s request. Such a fight would obviously be a first between two such wealthy people, but might not be very fair.
Indeed, the two billionaires first of all have a big difference in size. Mark Zuckerberg is 1.77 meters tall and weighs just over 70 kg, while Elon Musk is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 90 kg. The two fighters are then in a totally different weight category. Elon Musk also joked in another message that during a fight, he just had to use the Morse code technique of “lying on the opponent” to win the duel.
Mark Zuckerberg could still compensate for this difference in size thanks to his experience in martial arts. It has been several years now that the billionaire trains in different disciplines, and even participates in professional competitions. On his Instagram account, the CEO of Meta also showed just 4 days ago that he was now practicing the jiu-jitsu with Mikey Musumeci, 5 times world champion in the discipline.
It now remains to be seen if the two billionaires will take the joke even further and organize an event.
