Two of the richest men in the world have decided to settle their differences like responsible adults: by playing fights.
In a scene reminiscent of the greatest hours of French rap, the bosses of Twitter and Meta exchanged cleats on their respective social networks, until they came to want to fight IRL in an octagon. If Elon Musk still has plenty of time to stay true to himself and escape, one wonders if the two men had no other means of reaching an agreement. And to be honest, we hope not.
Twitter copy as a trigger
This story begins shortly after Elon Musk took over Twitter. One of the main consequences of this change is that the site seems to be sailing by sight and getting closer to the abyss every day. Where, for thousands of employees, this erratic management meant dismissal, Mark Zuckerberg saw an opportunity. After blithely copying Snapchat, TikTok and Clubhouse, among many others, he decided to take on the case of Twitter.
This news didn’t really sit well with Musk, who replied to a tweet on the subject: I’m sure the earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other option. “More than the competition, it’s the presentation of the project, ” Twitter managed in a sane way “, which seems to have annoyed the billionaire. To a response that tells him to be careful, because Meta’s boss does ju-jitsu, he explains: ” I’m ready for a cage fight if he is. »
Zuck’s response
Mark Zuckerberg, it must be admitted, is generally much less whimsical than Elon Musk. He doesn’t feel obligated to comment on all social issues or insult the people he fires. But maybe he was dreaming, and he wouldn’t be the only one, of fighting against the boss of Twitter and Tesla. Or did he just want to show the world his progress in MMA. Still, he shared a screenshot of the tweet on Instagram, captioning: ” Choose the location. »
It should therefore probably be in Las Vegas that the boss of Facebook will face an Elon Musk who, no doubt, will come disguised as a troll face, or worse, as Twitter Blue. The fact remains that if we stick to the comparison with the Booba-Kaaris confrontation, or to Musk’s past promises on almost all subjects, the holding of this confrontation is still anything but guaranteed.
