Battle of the Titans: Musk and Zuckerberg agree on cage fight


Elon Musk said he would use “The Walrus” position against Mark Zuckerberg, who recently won a gold medal in a jiu-jitsu competition.

Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has accepted a challenge from his fellow tech billionaire Elon Musk to lock heads in a cage fight.

“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Musk tweeted in response to Meta’s plans to launch a Twitter rival.

To which Tesla’s boss responded: “Vegas Octagon.” The Octagon is a fenced-in venue used for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) matches in Las Vegas.

“This would be hilarious,” Musk said in another tweet. He also said, “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus,’ where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing.”

In another tweet, he said, “I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air.”

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has been training in mixed martial arts (MMA) and won gold and silver medals in his first jiu-jitsu competition in May.

Last year, Meta partnered with UFC to bring virtual reality experiences for those watching the matches from home.
