“I’m up for a cage match if he is,” Musk, 51, tweeted on Tuesday, June 20 to which Zuckerberg, 39, responded with a screenshot on his Instagram story that read “send me location.”
Alex Heath, editor of The Verge, reported that Zuckerberg is serious about fighting Musk and is “now waiting on the details.”
Musk responded to Heath with the words: “Vegas Octagon.”
This comes as the two billionaires have developed a feud following reports of Meta’s possible Twitter rival.
Musk has been quick to write hilarious quips at Zuckerberg’s expense, meanwhile at an internal meeting at Meta recently, chief product officer Chris Cox told employees that they’re looking to create a version of Twitter that is “sanely run.”
In a podcast interview with Lex Fridman, Zuckerberg said: “I’ve always thought that Twitter should have a billion people using it.”
Regarding an actual fight between the tech billionaires, Musk has often spoken about being in “real hard-core street fights” while growing up in South Africa.
Zuckerberg has shared his jiu-jitsu journey on social media, winning several tournaments and claiming to have completed the difficult “Murph Challenge” in under 40 minutes.
“I try to do the Murph challenge with the girls every Memorial Day as a tradition to honor those who defended us,” Zuckerberg wrote in an Instagram post.
“One of Lt Murphy’s favorite workouts was running a mile, then doing 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, and then running another mile — all while wearing a 20lb weighted pack. This year I got it done in 39:58. The girls did a quarter-Murph (unweighted) in 15 mins!”
Last year, Musk challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to single combat.
“I hereby challenge Владимир Путин [Vladimir Putin] to single combat Stakes are Україна [Ukraine],” Musk tweeted.
“Do you agree to this fight?” he followed up in a second translated post, tagging the Kremlin’s official Twitter account.
