Tech rivalries are beginning to spill over into real lives with Twitter's Elon Musk challenging Meta's Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight.
It all kicked off when Musk took to his Twitter account to express his willingness to participate in a cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg in response to a user's post on Meta's Threads feature.
Zuckerberg responded by sharing a screenshot of Musk's message with the caption: "send me location."
Musk, not to be outdone, responed with a simple statement: "Vegas Octagon."
The Octagon, known as the enclosed area where Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) matches take place, is situated in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I’m up for a cage match if he is lol

Predictably the exchange has gone viral on social media sparking a meme frenzy.
Elon Musk, who will be celebrating his 52nd birthday later this month, tweeted about a unique move he claims to possess called "The Walrus," which involves him lying on top of his opponent and doing nothing.
Musk then responded to users by sharing brief videos of walruses on his Twitter feed.
In another tweet, he joked about his limited workout routine, stating that he rarely exercises except for playfully lifting his children in the air.
I have this great move that I call “The Walrus”, where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing

In contrast, 39-year-old Zuckerberg has been involved in mixed martial arts (MMA) training and has recently achieved success in jiu-jitsu tournaments.
