After Elon Musk’s challenged Mark Zuckerberg for a “cage match” and following the Meta chief accepting the challenge, memes took over social media as the not-so-casual banter between the billionaires become one of the biggest talking points on the internet.

With “Zuck” taking a spot in Twitter top trends, users unleashed memes featuring Zuckerberg and Musk, who owns Twitter.

“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Elon Musk tweeted in response to a report on Meta launching a potential rival to Twitter.

In a savage comeback, Zuckerberg wrote on Instagram Stories: “Send me location”.

Zuckerberg, 39, is trained in the Brazilian marital art of jiu-jitsu and has even won medals.

This is not the first time Musk is taking on Mark Zuckerberg.

In a separate tweet, Elon Musktook a jibe at Zuckerberg by referring to the infamous incident when Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama asked a young boy in India to suck his tongue. Musk was reacting to a report on Meta developing a micro-blogging platform to rival Twitter. According to the report, the social media giant will rope in global personalities like Oprah Winfrey and the Dalai Lama as early members of the new platform.

“Zuck my tongue” Musk tweeted, choosing to use a tongue emoji instead of the word. The Twitter chief had used the same expression earlier this month, reacting to a similar report.
