Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, also revealed that he has been lifting weights at work to prepare for the face-off because he does not have time to work out at home. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg trains in jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts.
Musk had challenged Mark Zuckerberg in a physical fight earlier in June when the two tech billionaires agreed to a “cage match” face-off. The "fight" was triggered when Musk responded to a post about Meta reportedly preparing to release Threads. The Twitter owner took a dig about the world becoming “exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options". But when a Twitter user jokingly warned him of Zuckerberg's jiu-jitsu training Musk wrote: “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol”.
Soon, the Meta CEO responded and agreed to the match. “Send me the location,” Zuckerberg wrote in Instagram story, which showed a screenshot of Musk's tweet alongside another user's response urging him to “start training.”
Responding to it, Musk suggested the Vegas Octagon and then joked about his fighting skills.“I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’, where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing,” Musk tweeted.
