You probably heard the news, but here's the TL;DR — Elon Musk challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a "cage match" over Twitter and Zuckerberg responded on Instagram with the words “Send me location”. Musk then messaged back with "Vegas Octagon".
Here's a Medium post for a slightly longer breakdown.
Only time will tell if this match happens, but in the meantime, I'm curious about what y'all think...
- Do you think this fight will happen?
- Who do you think will win if it does?
- Of the two, who would you most like to see punched in the face and why?

Zuckerberg is 12 years younger than Musk, in way better shape, and actually does martial arts as a pretty active hobby.
He also recently provided data that he's in pretty great shape.
Very true! Zuckerberg does have the stats advantage by a lot. Exactly like you said — youth, better shape, and actual fighting experience. The only thing Elon has going for him is his larger size, but if he's all mush, then it's not likely going to be much help.
If it really becomes serious, I'd imagine that Musk will get some training in, but Zuckerberg has a huge head start. As it stands, I'd have to put my money on Zuck.
WOW did not know this about martial arts + the 5K stats are super impressive
I've always thought that's the way (business) wars ought to be fought.
Let's the people who want the war do the war.
Dogfooding
Also this needs to be a loser leaves the net fight.
Haha, oh yes! I'm all for that outcome.
There is no way Musk is winning unless he implants a brain chip to outsmart zuck
You don’t need to be intelligent to fight. Actually the dumber the better.lol
One form of intelligence that is now well known is dodging the opponent's attack until he tires without even realizing. Then you strike.
Tactics are open-ended and outsmarting someone else takes some intelligence to find a new unexplored tactic to cleverly overcome the other
I wonder why this happened? why they want to kick each other's ass?
Probably because might be when tweeter was reshuffling it lost a stack of engineers and coders who ended up at Meta who eventually wanted to start a twitter alternative
This bit from a Vox article titled Why in the world are Elon and Zuck planning to punch each other? might help provide some context:
now I see, thanks for posting this
No probs at all!
Zuckerberg has martial arts training and is younger. Musk is the guy that shoots his mouth off but can't back it up.
That said I wouldn't give their sites the traffic to watch the fight.
Good points all around, Chris! And, I completely understand not wanting to give them the traffic.
I'm typically a pacifist, but I'd be lying if I said I don't wanna see these two go at it. 😅
haha i Don't think it will happpen
Haha, I feel you on that, Clara! These 2 talk a lot of crap... especially Elon.
Who wouldn’t wanna see two-droids; billionaire Lizzard men duke it out?! I wanna see them fight until their suits fall off.
They are fighting for control of the world.
But that’s some weird stuff! Why would meta want to give Africa free internet ?!
What about Europe first?!
Did the Africans agree to it ?!
Yoll think Musk messed it up on purpose lol 😂
Or was there a payload delivery fee ?! Maybe that’s why he is mad?! Lol 😆
Is this a pay me you owe me kind of fight ?!
I make a patriotic stance for Musk. He must kick some nerdy droid ass. Age is nothing. Experience trumps all.
X marks the spot.
