The billionaire tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have time and again surprised the world by going back and forth on the web. Things have become all the more interesting among the two billionaires now. When word got out that Zuckerberg’s Meta is planning to develop an application similar to Musk’s Twitter, the latter challenged Zuckerberg for a cage fight. Interestingly, Zuckerberg agreed to take up the challenge. As people are busy siding with either of the tech tycoons, an NBA star, too, seems to have picked his favorite from the two.

Even though Elon Musk’s mother has recently tried to stop him from going to the fight, the TESLA CEO doesn’t seem to have backed away from the bout. Interestingly, the latest rumors suggest the two have found a venue for the fight. Meanwhile, a 7x-NBA All-Star seems to have Zuckerberg’s back in the rumored fight.

Does a seven-time NBA All-Star cheer for Mark Zuckerberg?

As the much-awaited free agency window opened on Friday, the NBA world has been busy keeping up with the signings. Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving was quick to make headlines. Kyrie Irving reportedly agreed to a three-year $126 million deal with the Mavs. Amid the free agency frenzy, the seven-time All-Star seems to have set an eye on the bout between the billionaire tech giants.

As we know, Kyrie Irving has been an active presence on Instagram for quite some time. Similar to NBA icons such as Shaquille O’Neal, posting a long thread of stories has become a routine for the 2016 NBA champion. On one of his recent Instagram stories, Kyrie Irving posted a picture of Mark Zuckerberg. Irving did not write anything on the story.

Neither has he mentioned anything about the much-talked-about Musk-Zuckerberg clash. Anyhow, given the attention the rumored bout has been drawing, there are chances that Irving just said he will cheer on for the Meta CEO.

Elon Musk seems to have overlooked his mother’s advice

Days back, Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, took to Twitter and said she had canceled the fight between her son and Mark Zuckerberg. Besides, Maye had requested her son to engage in a verbal altercation, rather than taking things physically. However, Maye’s tweet and request seem to not have done the job. Earlier, the billionaires were ready to face off in Las Vegas. However, the fight is now set to take place in the Colosseum, Rome. Musk himself disclosed the news on Twitter.
