Big Tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg appear to have agreed to brawl each other in a cage fight.
The brawl first gained traction Tuesday after Musk tweeted in response to a claim that Zuckerberg’s Meta might be developing a competitor to Musk’s Twitter reportedly called THREADS.

“I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options,” Musk tweeted. “At least it will be ‘sane’. Was worried there for a moment.”
“Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the ju jitsu now,” a Twitter user commented.
“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Musk replied.
The suggestion seemed comical at first, but Zuckerberg soon replied on Instagram with a screenshot of Musk’s tweet and the message “send me location,” a phrase made iconic by former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
So, how do the two billionaires stack up against each other? Here’s the tale of the tape.
The South African-born billionaire stands at 6 foot, 1 1/2 inches and towers over the 5-foot-7-inch Zuckerberg, but size is not everything in a fight.
Musk, 51, may have the bigger bankroll at $245.9 billion compared to the 39-year-old Zuckerberg’s $100.9 billion, but the Meta man actively trains mixed martial arts and has competed and won in Brazil in jujitsu.
This is also not the first time that Musk has challenged someone to a fight.
In March 2022, he challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “single combat.”

“I hereby challenge [Vladimir Putin] to single combat. Stakes are [Ukraine],” he tweeted.
That fight never came to fruition.
