The rich are planning to square up with each other after agreeing to a cage match. But will it actually happen?
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg have been going back and forth on social media after they seemingly agreed to fight each other in Las Vegas. This all started after a Twitter user posted about Meta’s upcoming product earlier this week and how it’s rumored to compete with Twitter. Former Twitter CEO Musk, tweeted out “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 😅.”
Another Twitter user chimed in to warn Musk, 51, “Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the jujitsu now 😆🤣😂😹😆🤣😂😹😆.” However, Musk quickly replied, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”

Shockingly, Facebook owner Zuckerberg, 39, replied by posting a screenshot of the exchange in his Instagram Story. He said “Send me location,” written in big letters. Whew!
Now, It’s unclear how serious the two tech billionaires are about going into the cage for a fight. However, a Meta spokesperson told PEOPLE in a statement, “The story speaks for itself.”
Now, Mark Zuckerberg has been hitting the mats this past year in hopes of sharpening his grappling skills but recently started training again with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) world champion Mikey Musumeci.
Musk on the other hand recently admitted he “almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air,” the SpaceX CEO wrote about his current workout routine. But he did share that, “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’, where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing.” Ultimately Musk tweeted, “This would be hilarious 🤣” if a fight really happened.
While Zuckerberg has a better chance at winning in the ring, Elon Musk is still beating him when it comes to being the richest in the world.
Back in June, Musk reclaimed his position as the world’s wealthiest person. According to Bloomberg Billionaires Tally, which estimated the Tesla (TSLA) CEO’s net worth is now about $192 billion, compared to LVMH (LVMHF) CEO Bernard Arnault’s $187 billion.
His fortunes are directly linked to those of Tesla, the electric automaker and biggest asset is the company’s stock, of which he owns about 13%, according to Bloomberg.
