Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been duking it out on social media for months, and now they’re ready to do business in a cage.
In a hardly credible exchange that has taken place over the past couple of days, Musk said “I’m up for a cage fight if he is” in response to a Twitter thread mocking Zuckerberg’s recent penchant for jiu jitsu, which he had posted on Instagram .
The Verge subsequently reported and had confirmed a response on Zuckerberg’s Instagram page including a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the text “Send me location.” As Meta owner, Zuckerberg also owns Instagram and Facebook.
Twitter owner Musk wasn’t silent, replying the next day “Vegas Octagon” – presumably his preferred location – before adding “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’ where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing.”
The barely believable exchange a year ago feels oddly reflective of the current atmosphere in the tech world.
I’m ready for a cage fight if he is lol

The self-proclaimed free speech warrior Musk can barely keep quiet for a day on the platform he bought last year. Only yesterday he posted a complaint saying the words “cis” and “cisgender” are now considered “sloppy” on Twitter.
