The virtual world is abuzz with the banter between two of tech’s most influential personalities – Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, and Elon Musk, who helms SpaceX, among other ventures. The important question on everyone’s mind is: will these tech titans actually face off in a ring match? As of now, the answer remains clouded.
This online banter may have the potential to turn into a Huge Event in the near future
Their online jabs started when Zuckerberg took to Threads to satirize Musk’s post about weightlifting, a supposed prep for the potential fight. The Meta CEO confidently stated he’s “always ready” for a duel with Musk. Interestingly, he mentioned a tentative date, August 26, but noted that Musk hadn’t given the green signal. “Don’t hold out too much hope,” Zuckerberg teased.
In a twist, Musk declared the match, if it transpires, would be broadcast “live” on X, with all earnings channelled towards a charity for veterans. Zuckerberg, not missing a beat, cheekily responded that they should “use a more reliable platform that can actually raise funds for charity.” Beyond the playful exchanges, Zuckerberg expressed his genuine love for the sport, emphasizing his readiness to face trained contenders.
The playful, and sometimes serious, differences between Zuckerberg and Musk are not new to the tech community. They’ve historically disagreed on subjects ranging from artificial intelligence and social media to space exploration. Zuckerberg, in late July, cast doubt on the actual occurrence of this much-anticipated match. As for official statements, Meta’s stance was cryptic, opting only to retweet Zuckerberg’s original post on Threads.
While it remains to be seen whether the battle will be in tweets or in the ring, the internet is eagerly watching.
