How would you imagine Tesla CEO Elon Musk meeting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg? Now think of the exact opposite. The two of the biggest tech billionaires in the world have engaged in a social media spat that could potentially lead to an actual physical face-off. The playful banter started when Musk mocked Facebook’s potential Twitter competitor, prompting Zuckerberg to challenge him to a fight.
Musk’s initial tweet took a dig at Zuckerberg, expressing his concerns about Facebook’s dominance. He jokingly suggested a cage match, only to be met with a surprising response from Zuckerberg, who posted Musk’s tweet on Instagram and declared, “send me location.”

While the world is still trying to determine whether this exchange is serious or simply a playful exchange between billionaires, Musk’s recent response has fueled speculation. In just two words, he suggested the famous Las Vegas Octagon as the battleground for their potential clash.
The rivalry between the two tech titans has been brewing, with Musk taking playful jabs at Zuckerberg over Meta’s upcoming Twitter competitor. The banter intensified during a Meta internal meeting, where the desire for a “sanely run” Twitter alternative was discussed.
