They say that violence is never the answer to settle disputes, but it's easy to root for a fight especially if two tech billionaires will be placed in the ring. Predictably, it was Musk who started the idea of the two engaging in a physical fight, to which Zuckerberg agreed.

Musk vs Zuckerberg

Unlike the fights that certain YouTubers keep promoting, this is the kind of fight that people would be interested to witness. Tech billionaires are probably the last thing you'd think of when it comes to brawls, but it may just become a reality.

It started off with a tweet from Mario Nawfal, reporting that Meta will be releasing a "Threads," which was meant to be a "Twitter Rival." Knowing how Musk reacts to such things, it was expected that he would respond to the situation, although not in the way he normally does.

At first, Musk sarcastically responded by saying that Earth can't want to be "exclusively under Zuck's thumb" without other options. When a user pointed out that the Meta CEO knew jiu-jitsu now, Musk said that he was ready for a cage match.

Zuckerberg saw the tweet and responded through an Instagram story. Posting a screenshot of Musk's challenge, the Meta CEO captioned it " Send Me Location." Musk, not backing down, stated the Vegas Octagon as the venue.

The Tesla CEO even joked about a move called "The Walrus," where he would just lie on top of his opponent and do nothing. Given that Musk is bigger than Zuckerberg, it might be entertaining to watch him attempt that in the fight with the Meta CEO.

Still, his opponent has more training than he has. As pointed out by The Verge, Zuckerberg is an aspirational MMA fighter who has already proven himself in tournaments. Meanwhile, Musk claims he's had "real hard-core street fights" while growing up in South Africa.

Learning from street fights, while it might help, is still different from actual disciplined training, which Zuckerberg has been going through. If the fight does go through, let's hope that Musk trains a little just to level the playing field.

Let's See the Stats

Elon Musk, known as the CEO of several companies, is 5"11 in height and 180 pounds in weight. Almost 52 years old, Musk is more than a decade older than Zuckerberg. In both height and weight, Elon Musk is ahead.

The Meta CEO is 5"7 in height and 154 pounds in weight, according to Stars Unfolded, but due to his recent activities and training, he may have gained more muscle weight. He is also ahead when it comes to actual combat training.

Just this May, Zuckerberg won gold and silver medals in his first Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament in California, fighting for the Guerilla Jiu-Jitsu team. That proves that his training is more than a hobby and he can actually apply it in real life.

Although Musk claims he has experience in street fights growing up in South Africa, training might not be a bad idea since his opponent has already dedicated so much time to getting better at fighting. All we can hope for now is that they actually go through with it.
