Twitter owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk recommended Vegas for the place of a “cage match” after apparently being challenged to a battle by Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
“Vegas Octagon,” Musk tweeted lateWednesday He was reacting to an Instagram post by Zuckerberg who had actually shot back with a message of “send me location” after the Tesla employer verified he was up for a “cage match.”
Cage matches have actually been promoted by blended martial arts or mixed martial arts franchises like UFC. The “Octagon” describes the cage around the ring in which fighters fight since it has 8 sides.
The series of exchanges began previously today when Mario Nawfal, creator and CEO at International Blockchain Consulting, tweeted “META to Release ‘Twitter Rival’ Called THREADS.” Facebook moms and dad Meta is apparently dealing with a standalone, text-based social media app that might take on Twitter.
Musk reacted to Nawfal by stating: “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options. At least it will be ‘sane’. Was worried there for a moment.”
Another user warned Musk stating, “Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the ju jitsu now.”
Zuckerberg apparently has a white belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He trains under Dave Camarillo of Guerilla Jiu Jitsu academy, a judo and jiu-jitsu black belt who has actually trained a variety of UFC champs.
That stimulated a remark from Musk that recommended he is up for a battle with theZuckerberg Musk quipped: “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”
The Verge tech publication confirmed that Zuckerberg is “serious about fighting Elon Musk and is now waiting on the details” if Musk chooses to follow through. “The story speaks for itself,” a Meta representative informed the media outlet, describing Zuckerberg’s Instagram story. It is uncertain if the battle in between the 2 tech leaders will in fact take place or whether Musk’s tweets were severe. A representative for Meta was not right away offered when called by CNBC.
Late Wednesday, Musk published another tweet stating: “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’, where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing.”
He likewise stated, “I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air.”
