Twitter CEO Elon Musk expressed his readiness to engage in a cage-match style fight with Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta and an enthusiast of jiu-jitsu. Musk issued this challenge after learning about Zuckerberg’s intentions to develop a text-based social media platform as a competitor to Twitter.
In a tweet, Musk warned that if Meta gains control of yet another social media platform, Zuckerberg would possess absolute power over Earth with no alternative options. 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 😅.
