Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg: Tesla Boss Wants Fight in Vegas
The owners of tech industry giants Tesla and Facebook, have engaged in a playful exchange about settling their differences in an exciting Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg cage fight, per CNN.
It all started when Musk, the CEO of Tesla, tweeted that he would be willing to participate in a cage fight with Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (formerly known as Facebook). Zuckerberg responded on Instagram with a screenshot of Musk's tweet and the caption "Send Me Location."
Musk fueled the banter by responding to a tweet suggesting the fight, mentioning the "Vegas Octagon," a reference to the venue used for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events.
He humorously added that he has a move called "The Walrus," where he lies on top of his opponent and does nothing.
While it remains unclear whether the two billionaires are severe or simply joking, it's worth noting that Zuckerberg practices jiu-jitsu, a Brazilian martial art, and has succeeded in tournaments.
Sports betting platform Oddspedia collected odds from various bookmakers, indicating that Zuckerberg has an 83% chance of winning the fight.
However, bookmaker Paddy Power believes the match may never happen but suggests that both men have an equal chance of winning if it does take place.
Amidst the lighthearted exchange, a spokesperson for Paddy Power expressed hope that the hypothetical fight could bring some sense to both individuals.

Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg
The rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has been building over the years, and analysts believe that a cage fight may be the only way to settle their long-standing beef.
The feud between the two tech moguls has become increasingly nasty and shows no signs of abating, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, CNBC Make It noted.
Musk and Zuckerberg have engaged in a war of words, taking shots at each other's businesses.
Musk has criticized Instagram, calling it a source of depression, and deleted the Facebook pages of his companies following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, stating that he finds the social network "lame."
On the other hand, Zuckerberg publicly blamed Musk for a failed SpaceX launch in 2016, expressing his disappointment over the destruction of a Facebook satellite.
The animosity between the two has also extended to other platforms, with Musk expressing his distrust of Meta-owned WhatsApp and Zuckerberg questioning SpaceX's reliability.
If the proposed cage fight in the "Vegas Octagon" were to occur, it would mark the culmination of this years-long rivalry and a new era of settling disputes between influential figures in the tech industry.
The spectacle would undoubtedly capture the attention of the public and further fuel the ongoing feud between these influential billionaires.
