Mark Zuckerberg Prepares to Take on Elon Musk in Epic Showdown
Following Elon Musk’s tweet about being willing to engage in a cage match with Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta responded by sharing a screenshot of Musk’s tweet on Instagram and stating, “Provide me with your location.”
That challenge came after Meta, which owns Zuckerberg’s Instagram, announced plans to create a text-based social media platform to rival Twitter.

Zuckerberg, 39, had also recently won his first amateur Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament. On the other hand, the 51-year-old Musk dominates Zuckerberg in terms of sheer physical size and has spoken of “real tough street fights” growing up in South Africa, according to the report. .
