This is how the CEO of Meta responded to the challenge of the owner of Twitter: “Send me the location.
The least expected challenge arrives: Mark Zuckerberg agreed to fight Elon Musk. Although both technology gurus got used to maintaining acid exchanges through the networks, the dispute could now be transferred to a cage, as if it were an MMA (mixed martial arts) fight.
The CEO of Meta responded via Instagram to Musk’s invitation with a clear “send me the location”, after the owner of Tesla and Twitter assured that he is “willing to fight in a cage”.
Elon Musk quoted Zuckerberg in the Las Vegas Octagon, the spectacular venue where some of the best fights in the UFC take place and which could have the two punching each other very soon, since Musk is hurt by Zuckerberg’s plans to want to create his own version of Twitter.
Musk vs. Zuckerberg, a long-standing rivalry
Las Vegas Octagon, the cage Elon Musk chose to fight Mark Zuckerberg.
The idea of arose a few days ago when new details about the future Meta platform alternative to Twitter, known as Project Barcelona, came to light. Musk, as usual, decided to heat the atmosphere with comments directed at the CEO of Meta through Twitter, and in one of them he stated that he “was willing” to fight with Zuckerberg.
But in a most surprising move, Mark Zuckerberg decided to respond to Musk via an Instagram Story, including a screenshot of Musk’s tweet alongside the words “Send me location.”
The rivalry goes back a long way. “I always thought that Twitter should have a billion users,” Zuckerberg said recently in a recent interview with Lex Fridman, something that Musk disliked, in addition to the words of a Meta executive who assures that they want this social network to be “sanely directed”.
“I’m sure Earth is dying to be under Zuck’s sole control with no other options. At least it will be a sane world. For a moment I was worried,” Musk said wryly.
Faced with this intervention, a user on Twitter warned the South African to be “careful” because Zuckerberg did jiu-jitsu and thus began to form the fight of technological billionaires.
The face to face is quite peculiar: Elon Musk is older (51 years old), taller and claims to have engaged in “very tough street fights” as a child in South Africa, although he admits that now he does not do any sport.
Mark Zuckerberg practices mixed martial arts.
In front, Zuckerberg is the contender (39 years old). He is much fitter than Musk and plays contact sports. He recently participated in a jiu-jitsu competition, with good results.
Will there finally be a fight or will everything end in an exchange of threats through social networks? Netizens are waiting. And if it materializes, the show is served.
