Billionaire tech executives Billionaire tech executives Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have agreed to physically fight each other in a cage match.

This absurd combat has spurred conversations on social media with some users doubting the possibility of the fight actually taking place.

Here’s what we know about Zuck vs. Musk:

How did we get here?

On June 20, one user on “X” (formerly known as Twitter) posted rumors of what would become Meta’s “Threads”, an app similar to Twitter for sharing text posts.

Musk responded to the post, saying “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options.”

Users responded, referencing Zuckerberg’s martial arts experience. “I’m up for a cage match if he is,” the 52-year-old Musk said in a thread on “X”.

“Send me location,” Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook and Instagram responded in an Instagram story the next day which included a screenshot of Musk challenging him.

When will the match be?

No date has been announced for the face-off.

Where will the match take place?

Musk initially suggested the “Vegas Octagon”, or the UFC-Style Octagon, a mixed-martial arts venue in Las Vegas, The Nation reported however that Musk has spoken to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture and they have agreed on an “epic” location.

Where can you watch?

Musk announced recently that the match will be streamed on X with all proceeds going to a charity for veterans.

Musk vs Zuckerberg dates back to 2016 when a SpaceX launch accident exploded one of Zuckerberg’s $200 million satellites, the two tech executives have been throwing passive aggressive jabs ever since. (The Nation)
