Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, two prominent billionaires in the technology industry, have engaged in a playful exchange regarding a potential cage match.
Taking to his Twitter account, Elon Musk expressed his willingness to participate in a cage fight, inviting Mark Zuckerberg to join him.
In response, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, shared a screenshot of Elon Musk’s tweet and replied with the phrase “send me location.”
Mr Musk then replied to Mr Zuckerberg’s response with: “Vegas Octagon.”
The Octagon is the competition mat and fenced-in area used for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bouts. The UFC is based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mr Musk, who turns 52 later this month, also tweeted: “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’, where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing.”
He later tweeted short videos of walruses, perhaps suggesting his challenge to Mr Zuckerberg may not entirely be serious.

He also tweeted: “I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air.”
In the midst of this playful exchange, it has been noted that 39-year-old Mark Zuckerberg has been actively training in mixed martial arts (MMA) and has achieved victories in jiu-jitsu tournaments.
The online conversation between the two billionaires has quickly gained traction, capturing the attention of social media users. The viral exchanges have sparked debates among users, speculating on the potential outcome of a bout between them.
As a result, numerous memes and mock posters advertising the hypothetical fight have surfaced.
Elon needs to sign a waiver because Zuck will completely destroy him. https://t.co/qeazJGmi0M
