Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, recently conveyed his willingness to partake in a confrontational match resembling a cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta and a fervent practitioner of jiu-jitsu. Musk put forth this proposition upon discovering Zuckerberg’s aspirations to create a text-centric social media platform to rival Twitter.
Through a tweet, Musk cautioned that if Meta were to acquire yet another social media platform, Zuckerberg would wield complete dominion over the Earth, leaving no room for alternative choices. A user on Twitter mentioned Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu skills, to which Musk responded, “If he’s game, I’m open to a match inside a cage lol.”
I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options.
At least it will be “sane”. Was worried there for a moment 😅.

Elon Musk possesses a diverse background in martial arts, having trained in various disciplines such as Kyokushin karate, taekwondo, judo, and he has also acquired some Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills. During one grappling session with a sumo wrestler, Musk sustained a back injury. On the other hand, Mark Zuckerberg has demonstrated his proficiency in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and recently gained recognition through participation in a tournament. Zuckerberg attributes his achievements to embracing defeat, starting afresh, and emphasizes the significance of learning from moments of embarrassment, and persisting in new endeavors.
Notably, Elon Musk has a tendency to challenge notable figures, as evidenced by his lighthearted proposal for a duel with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Adding to this pattern, Musk has now directed a taunt toward Mark Zuckerberg, reacting to Meta’s intentions of creating a text-based application to rival Twitter. Meta promises a well-managed platform, presenting a contrast to Musk’s own offerings.
What Mark preposes is a Well Managed Platform. Which means a well Censured platform.
