Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg agree to Hold Cage Fight
Two of the world’s most high-profile innovation tycoons — Elon Musk and Imprint Zuckerberg — have consented to battle each other in an enclosure match.
Mr Musk posted a message on his web-based entertainment stage Twitter that he was “up for an enclosure battle” with Mr Zuckerberg.
Mr Zuckerberg, the manager of Facebook and Instagram parent organization Meta, then posted a screen capture of Mr Musk’s tweet with the inscription “send me area.
“The story justifies itself,” a Meta representative told the BBC.
Mr Musk then, at that point, answered to Mr Zuckerberg’s reaction with: “Vegas Octagon.”
The Octagon is the opposition mat and closed in region utilized for Extreme Battling Title (UFC) sessions. The UFC is situated in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mr Musk, who turns 52 not long from now, additionally tweeted: “I have this extraordinary move that I call ‘The Walrus’, where I simply lie on top of my rival and sit idle.
He later tweeted brief recordings of walruses, maybe recommending his test to Mr Zuckerberg may not altogether be serious.
He additionally tweeted: “I never work out, aside from getting my children and tossing them in the air.”
In the mean time, 39-year-old Mr Zuckerberg has previously been preparing in blended combative techniques (MMA) and has as of late won jiu-jitsu competitions.

Broadcaster and fight sports journalist Nick Peet told the BBC’s World at One programme that Dana White, the president of the UFC, would be “licking his lips at the possibility of putting this fight on”.
He said he thought there was a decent chance it could actually go ahead, “mostly because of Elon Musk and his personality and his eccentric character. His career kind of suggests he’s not somebody who willingly steps down.”
However, asked who he thought would come out on top, he replied: “Zuckerberg all day! He’s 12 years younger. He is a lot smaller. I think he’s 5ft 7, Elon’s probably around 6ft. And Elon’s probably got a couple of stone in weight on him.
“But unfortunately Mr Musk has got no training whatsoever. Even though Zuckerberg’s only been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu for 18 months, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to take his back, wrap his arms around his neck and give him a good old cuddle and choke him out!”
Mr Musk has a history of making statements that are not serious or which fail to happen.
For example, he told the BBC in April he had made his dog chief executive of Twitter.
In 2017 he tweeted he had “verbal government approval” for a so-called hyperloop — a kind of train system — to connect New York City with Washington DC, Philadephia and Baltimore. This has yet to materialise.
In 2018 Mr Musk was forced to step down as Tesla chair by regulators after Tweeting that he intended to take the firm private.
Mr Musk has also made good on some of his pronouncements, including stepping down as Twitter chief executive this year after Twitter users voted in favour of his resignation in a poll he ran.
He had already said he wanted to step back as chief executive in November 2022, however.
Tech Rivalry
Recently, Meta showed staff plans for a text-based interpersonal organization intended to rival Twitter, sources told the BBC.
It could permit clients to follow accounts they as of now follow on Instagram, Meta’s picture sharing application.
It might actually permit the organization to bring over supporters from decentralized stages like Mastodon.
A Meta representative affirmed to the BBC that the stage was being developed.
The text-based network — which has a functioning title of P92 — could end up being a more prominent opponent to Elon Musk’s Twitter than either BlueSky or Mastodon.
