From product competition to hand-to-hand combat, Musk and Zuckerberg have an offline "iron cage battle"!

Original: Wall Street News

The news that Musk is going to have an "iron cage match" with Zuckerberg instantly exploded across the Internet.

On Wednesday, Tesla CEO Musk said on his Twitter that he would have an "iron cage match" with Meta CEO Zuckerberg.

Zugberg responded immediately with "give me the address" on Instagram.

Musk’s reply was simple and powerful: “The Octagon in Las Vegas.” Musk’s mother opposed the duel from the very beginning. After Musk gave the location of the Octagon in Las Vegas, Mayer Hall responded by saying, "No kidding. Wen fights not fights. In armchairs. 4 feet apart. Funniest person wins."

So, in a few words, an offline appointment with a bigwig in the technology circle was reached.

The people who eat melons are very curious, are the two people's words so light and fluffy reliable? Don't you be joking?

In this regard, Musk said in response to netizens’ tweets on Twitter that if it is true, I will go.

Meta spokesperson Iska Saric told the media that it has been confirmed that Zuckerberg's reply was not a joke.

Iron cage fighting is a form of competition popularized by mixed martial arts leagues (MMA) such as UFC, where the "octagonal cage" refers to the cage around the competition field because it has eight corners.

How could two of the world's top tycoons and technology tycoons "knit a knot", even to the point of a duel?

This may be related to the competition between Meta and Twitter.

Earlier this week, Meta said it released a new product codenamed "Project 92." It is reported that this application is expected to be named Threads, designed to compete with Twitter.

It allows users to follow accounts they already follow on Instagram, and is seen by the market as a possible challenger to Twitter. Zuckerberg said that to create a "sane Twitter."

Musk immediately mocked mercilessly:

If two people fight, who will win?

Zuckerberg, 39, is not only younger in age, but has been training in mixed martial arts (MMA) and has won jiu-jitsu competitions. Earlier this year, he also claimed to have recently successfully completed the "Murphy Challenge" workout (run 1.6 kilometers, do 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and run another 1.6 kilometers in less than 40 minutes, And carry a 9kg load-carrying bag all the way).

Zuckerberg posted a picture saying that he completed the Murphy challenge in 39 minutes

But Musk, who will turn 52 this month, also has his own advantages. At 188 centimeters, he has a clear advantage in size. He once said that he participated in "really hardcore street fights" when he was growing up in South Africa.

He also tweeted Wednesday night about one of his "tricks": "I have a great move I call the 'Walrus' where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing."

He also wrote: "I hardly ever exercise, except for picking up my kids and throwing them in the air."

This kind of "calm and calm" statement before the game made people more curious about his "true strength"...

At present, people who eat melons have shown great interest and anticipation in this duel between giants in the technology industry.

Meme pictures made by enthusiastic people

While both sides are now swearing they won't "break the date," whether the match will actually take place and how serious Musk's tweets are remains uncertain.

The technology media The Verge, with the mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal, issued a cry on behalf of the majority of melon friends: "Don't be cowardly, Musk!"
