Mark Zuckerberg accepts Elon Musk’s cage fight: ‘Send me the location’
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, has accepted a challenge from Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, for a “cage match” following months of online exchanges. This comes after Zuckerberg’s Meta-owned Instagram announced plans to launch a text-based social media platform to rival Twitter. The challenge was made by Musk in a tweet, to which Zuckerberg replied on his Instagram story, saying “Send me location.” Musk, who has trained in various martial arts including Kyokushin karate, taekwondo, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, responded by suggesting the Vegas Octagon as the bout location and jokingly mentioned his move called “The Walrus.” This faceoff between the tech moguls is eagerly anticipated, and it is not the first time Musk has challenged a public figure.
