Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are ready to fight in the ring over the development of a Twitter competitor

Elon Musk recently tweeted that he was «ready for a cage fight» with Mark Zuckerberg. The founder of Meta Corporation responded by posting a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption «send me a seat.»

Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the ju jitsu now?

After Meta’s recent announcement that the company was working on a «Twitter killer,» Musk began to mock Zuckerberg in his usual manner.

At Meta’s internal meeting, Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said that when creating a new social platform, the company wants a version of Twitter «that works smart.» Also on one of the podcasts, Zuckerberg expressed surprise at what he considers to be the weak performance of the competitor’s platform: «I always thought Twitter should have a billion users.» In response, Musk began throwing around phrases like «Is the sugar mine?»

According to Musk, he once took part in «real street fights in South Africa» (where the billionaire is from). In turn, Zuckerberg is an MMA fighter and has already won jiu-jitsu tournaments. He recently completed the grueling Murph Challenge in less than 40 minutes.

Bookmakers are no longer standing aside — if the fight does take place and is shown live, the match has a chance to outshine any sports broadcast. And it seems that the fans of both tech billionaires are more interested in the «show» than in a particular promising victory.
