Fight with Zuckerberg 'may happen', Musk will start training

Billionaire Elon Musk

Mr. Musk, who owns the social networking platform Twitter and is also the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said on June 20 that he was ready to enter a match with Mr. Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (Facebook's parent company). The challenge seemed to be just a joke, but the Facebook boss immediately responded and called on his "rival" to send location information.

“I haven’t started training yet. So if this happens, I’ll be training,” Musk, 51, said in a Twitter conversation with Ashlee Vance, author of a book about him and the space race, on June 24.

The fight “could actually happen,” Musk said, adding that it could get ugly if Zuckerberg took it seriously. Zuckerberg, 39, is a jiu-jitsu practitioner.

According to Business Insider , the story began on the evening of June 20 when Mr. Elon Musk responded to a rumor on Twitter that Meta Corporation might soon launch an application called Threads to counter Twitter. Mr. Musk said that launching such a platform would put the world "under the exclusive control of Mr. Zuckerberg".

A Twitter account responded: "You better be careful. I hear he's practicing jiu-jitsu." In response, Mr. Musk wrote: "I'm ready for a cage fight if he agrees (laughs)."

Billionaire Zuckerberg then took a screenshot of the above exchange and posted it on Instagram with the caption: "Send me your address."

Mr. Musk continued on Twitter that the address was an octagon in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA). "I have a move called "The Walrus" (walrus), where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing," Mr. Musk said.

Whether or not a martial arts match between two of the world’s richest billionaires will ever happen remains to be seen. However, if it does happen, Mr. Musk will face tough competition, as Mr. Zuckerberg said in May that he won two medals at a jiu-jitsu tournament in Redwood City, California.
