Do the rivals actually step into the ring? Twitter boss Elon Musk is up for a lot of “jokes”. He is now apparently arranging a wrestling match with his challenger Mark Zuckerberg online.
The tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have arranged a cage fight – and are causing a stir on the net. Whether the two are serious and actually get into the ring remained open after an entertaining back and forth on the net.
Twitter boss Musk, known for his online provocations and quips, tweeted on Wednesday that he was ready for a cage fight against meta boss Zuckerberg. Facebook founder Zuckerberg also agreed. On Instagram, he responded with a screenshot of Musk’s tweet and the words, “Send me the location.”
The back and forth of tech rivals continued throughout the week as well. Musk seemed to suggest a venue for the match with his terse post “Vegas Octagon.” He then added, “I have this awesome move I call ‘The Walrus’ where I just lay down on top of my opponent and do nothing.” Musk, who will be celebrating his 52nd birthday next week, posted a video of a walrus wallowing. Zuckerberg, 39, has a history of posting videos of himself doing martial arts.
The exchange between the two tech billionaires went viral on the internet. Netizens posted memes and debated who would win the fight. In a statement from Meta to several US media, the company only said: “The story speaks for itself”. The Twitter press office automatically responded to a comment request from the New York Times with a feces emoji, the paper reported.
