Tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are gearing up for a cage fight that promises to be the battle of the century. Musk, the CEO of Tesla, and Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, have been playfully challenging each other to a mixed martial arts match in Las Vegas since June.
The news broke when Musk took to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce that the highly anticipated face-off will be live-streamed on the same platform. Moreover, Musk's quirky sense of humor shone through as he stated, "Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans." Unfortunately, no further details about the event have been disclosed yet.
| Zuckerberg | Musk | |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 5'7" | 6'2" |
| Weight | 155 lbs. | 187 lbs. |
| Age | 39 years old | 51 years old |
| Description | One of the stronger nerds you will meet. Built like a tech geek who wants to be a UFC fighter. Jiu-Jitsu blue belt. | One of the brightest white torsos you will see. Built like a crash-test dummy. Trained in judo, kyokushin karate and taekwondo as a child, recently trained briefly in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. |
As the date approaches, both Musk and Zuckerberg seem to be getting ready for the clash. Musk humorously shared on X that he's been "lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight" and even managed to incorporate a workout routine into his busy schedule by bringing weights to work. Talk about dedication!
But, what's the point of this epic battle, you ask? According to Musk, it's a "civilized form of war." Well, as they say, "Men love war," and it seems like these tech moguls are taking that saying quite literally.
While Musk has been eager for this match from the start, it all began when he first posted on June 20 that he was "up for a cage match" with the 39-year-old jiujitsu-trained Zuckerberg. The challenge escalated quickly, with Zuckerberg, known for sharing pictures of his victories on Instagram, asking Musk to "send location" for the proposed throwdown. Musk, not one to back down, confidently replied with "Vegas Octagon," referring to the famous venue for MMA championship bouts.
As the excitement builds, we eagerly await more details and the official date for this thrilling showdown. Will Musk's engineering skills give him an edge in the ring, or will Zuckerberg's jiujitsu expertise prove to be a formidable force? Only time will tell.
