Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), and Meta co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg engaged in a verbal “cage-fight” on Monday, according to a post on the social media platform Threads.
The development comes after Musk declared on Sunday that his prospective face-to-face altercation with Mark Zuckerberg would be live on his social media platform X.
Shouldn’t we utilise a more dependable platform that can genuinely raise money for charity?’, Zuckerberg asked in response to Musk’s X post on Threads that he had shared as a screenshot. Zuckerberg responded on Threads to Musk’s post on being ready for the war by stating, “I am ready today. When he first challenged, I suggested August 26; however, he hasn’t confirmed. The Meta top executive said, “Not holding my breath.
The two tech millionaires allegedly decided to engage in a “cage match” in late June.
Zuckerberg has received mixed martial arts (MMA) training and most recently received a blue belt promotion in jiu-jitsu, a Brazilian self-defense and combat sport discipline.
Monday morning, Musk said on X that he will hold the fight in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) style.
The CEO of Tesla and the wealthiest person on earth declared, “Am going with @WWE as my fighting technique.
The arguments between Musk and Zuckerberg have drawn attention on social media, particularly when Zuckerberg introduced Threads, a service viewed as a competitor to Musk’s Twitter (now X), which he owns.
When Musk, who owns X, replied to a tweet about Meta being ready to launch the rumored “Twitter-killer” Threads, everything began to fall into place.

Musk mockingly warned of the world falling “exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options” after a Twitter user joked about Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu training.
Zuckerberg wrote on Threads on Monday, “I love sport and will keep competing with people who train, no matter what happens here.” In fact, since the social media giant created Twitter’s rival last month, the top executive at Meta has been using Threads extensively for exchanging updates.
It remains to be seen if the two social media moguls actually make it to the ring in Las Vegas given Musk’s history of talking about action too early or without following through.
