The MMA community now has an exciting and peculiar fight to look forward to. Tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg might come face-to-face in the world’s biggest MMA promotion octagon. The Twitter CEO and Meta CEO recently ended up calling each other out for an MMA fight. The verbal exchanges between the two parties began when Zuckerberg came up with his plan to launch ‘Threads’, a micro-blogging platform to rival Twitter. However, Musk showed no faith in Zuckerberg’s new venture.
When a Twitter user came across the contention between the tech giants, he suggested Musk be careful with his words as Zuckerberg was trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). As a response, Musk declared a “cage match,” and soon afterward, the Meta CEO responded on Instagram with a “Send Me Location.” However, it seems that Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, does not want her son to lock horns against another tech giant. Instead, she suggests a verbal fight between the two billionaires.
