I haven’t seen a fight since Manny Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. sometime in 2015, but I’d definitely watch if Elon Musk of Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook squared off in front of the camera.
And I’m not the only one who thinks so, given the amount of attention the concept of a fight between the two tech billionaires has received on social media.

It all started when Musk reacted to a report about Meta’s Twitter rival. Apparently, Meta chief product officer Chris Cox said the company has “been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run.”
Someone told him to be careful because Zuckerberg does jiu jitsu now. “I’m up for a cage match if he is,” Musk responded. As The Verge reports, Zuckerberg posted a screenshot of the exchange as a story on his Instagram account with the note: “Send Me Location.”
Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the ju jitsu now 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

Zuckerberg has been practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu for over a year, and his progress has been publicly reported – he even competed in a tournament in May, winning gold and silver medals. Musk, for his part, claims to have a terrific technique dubbed “The Walrus” in which he simply lies on top of his opponent and does nothing. His proposed fight location is the UFC Octagon in Las Vegas.
