The growing rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is proving to be an entertaining one for the fans. From calling for an actual cage fight, Musk has now called for the most bizarre competitions one could think of. The Tesla CEO was on his usual stroll on Twitter when he fired a few shots at the Facebook co-founder. Followers of the pair are seeing this as an escalation in their ongoing war of words, which could be fuelled by Meta’s recent launch of Threads, a competitor app for Twitter.
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s recent rivalry kicked off a few weeks ago after the Twitter boss offered to fight ‘Zuck’ in a cage. Zuckerberg accepted the challenge, and the conversation just took off from there. The whole affair even roped in UFC president Dana White who stated his willingness to set up the fight. Following this, several UFC stars offered to help train both billionaires. Amid all this chaos, Zuckerberg launched Threads, taking the rivalry to a new level and prompting Musk to take more shots at him.

Elon Musk often does rounds on Twitter, dropping a few comments here and there. Ever since the Mark Zuckerberg fiasco, he has been responding to fans raising questions about the same.
Under one such post, Musk tweeted, “I propose a literal d*ck measuring contest.” Hours prior to this tweet, Musk had taken another jab at the Meta CEO, writing, “Zuck is a cuck.”

While Musk is escalating the war of words with these schoolboy insults on Twitter, Zuckerberg seems to be playing a bigger game. Threads points to the 39-year-old’s intentions to topple Twitter’s position as a leading social media platform.
Zuckerberg has already made a giant leap toward this goal with Threads garnering almost 70 million sign-ups since its launch. In his first few posts on Threads, the Harvard graduate affirmed the same.
Zuckerberg is gunning for Twitter’s popularity
Mark Zuckerberg laid bare his plans for overtaking Twitter in one of the first posts he shared. He wrote, “It’ll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully, we will.”

The similarities between Threads and Twitter are more than conspicuous. In fact, shortly after its launch, Musk threatened the Meta CEO with legal action, saying, “Competition is fine, cheating is not.”
The latest installment in the online feud between Musk and ‘Zuck’ took a surprising turn. Will it culminate in the initially proposed cage fight? Who are you backing to win that one?
