Tech billionaires' cage match? Elon Musk throws down the gauntlet and Mark Zuckerberg accepts challenge
The Hindu
Twitter owner Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg seemingly agreed to a “cage match” face off.
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are ready to fight, offline.
In a now-viral back-and-forth seen on Twitter and Instagram this week, the two tech billionaires seemingly agreed to a “cage match” face off.
It all started when Musk, who owns Twitter, responded to a tweet about Meta reportedly preparing to release a new Twitter rival called “Threads.” He took a dig about the world becoming “exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options" — but then one Twitter user jokingly warned Musk of Zuckerberg's jiu jitsu training.
“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Musk wrote late Tuesday.

Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta Platforms, soon responded — and appeared to agree to Musk's proposal.
“Send me location,” Zuckerberg wrote on a Wednesday night Instagram story, which showed a screenshot of Musk's tweet alongside another user's response urging the Twitter owner to “start training.”
