Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has given the green light for a showdown with his tech rival, Mark Zuckerberg. According to the SpaceX chief, this cage fight between the two prominent tech leaders will be broadcast live on X, formerly known as Twitter.

As for now, there is no official confirmation of when the fight will be held.
The start of the controversy
The story began when Musk, the owner of X, responded to a tweet about Meta’s plans to launch a new Twitter alternative called Threads.
- He playfully remarked about the world becoming “exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options.”
- However, a Twitter user jokingly warned Musk about Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu training.
- In response, Musk tweeted, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”
The controversy ignited on June 20 when Musk posted that he would be “up for a cage match” with Zuckerberg, despite being aware of Mark’s jiu-jitsu skills.
- Mark took on Musk’s challenge and shared his response on Instagram stories, saying, “Send location.”
- Musk replied, “Vegas Octagon,” referring to the arena in Las Vegas where MMA championship bouts are held.
