Musk: "Appointment with Zuckerberg" "It may really happen" "Appointment" | Zuckerberg | Musk
American tech entrepreneurs Musk and Zuckerberg still seem to have the potential to engage in highly anticipated cage fights, despite Musk's mother's strong dissuasion. On the 24th, Musk stated that his "cage fight" with Zuckerberg could really happen. If agreed, he will start training.
Space based "booking"
Regarding the appointment with Zuckerberg, Musk provided the latest statement on the 24th.
"I haven't started training yet. If it's really a promise, I will," Musk said during a communication event on Twitter.
In recent days, the fact that these two wealthy individuals have arranged a flight across the air has attracted widespread public attention. This incident stems from recent news that Zuckerberg's Meta company plans to launch a new product called "Threads" that runs steadily, seemingly competing with Musk's Twitter.
It is worth mentioning that Musk spent $44 billion on Twitter last year and then made bold reforms. However, some controversial measures have caused many advertisers and big V users to feel uneasy, and Twitter has also fallen into turmoil.
At the same time, "Twitter alternatives" are increasingly attracting attention. So far, Twitter has not encountered any strong opponents, but if a giant like Yuan Company comes to an end, it may put considerable pressure on Twitter.
So, on Twitter on the 21st, Musk sarcastically said that the Earth would be completely controlled by Zuckerberg, and "Threads" should be able to "run steadily", which also made people worry for a while.
Later, some netizens joked that Musk "had better be careful" because they heard Zuckerberg was practicing jutsu.
Musk did not show weakness and replied, "If he can, I'm going to have a 'cage fight' with him, haha.".
Quickly, the "battle letter" reached Zuckerberg. Surprisingly, Zuckerberg gladly accepted the challenge. He said on his social media platform "Photo Wall", "Give me the address.".
In this situation, Musk also showed no fear and quickly gave the address: the Las Vegas Octagonal Cage, the venue for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the United States, and proposed a comprehensive combat.
The battle of the wealthy is on the verge of breaking out, with many onlookers watching. According to the American entertainment media TMZ, UFC President Bai Dana stated that he has communicated with Musk and Zuckerberg, "both of whom are very serious about this matter.".
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and some netizens and tabloids have created a showdown poster and strength comparison analysis for the two, even using artificial intelligence technology to "recreate" the fighting scene.
Musk has the advantage of being tall and powerful, not only being taller, but also being a heavyweight player. No wonder he claims his ultimate move is the "walrus" tactic, which involves using his weight advantage to overwhelm his opponent. Musk also mentioned that he participated in "hardcore street fights" when he grew up in South Africa.
But its disadvantage is that it is currently 51 years old, 12 years older than Xiao Zha. Musk also stated that he not only has a habit of eating donuts for breakfast, but also hardly ever exercises.
Although Zuckerberg appears to be a scholar, he has a strong physical fitness. He is not only a fitness expert, but has also studied under the world champion of jujutsu in recent years. Recently, he has won multiple medals in the Bay Area Jujutsu competition, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
Recently, Zuckerberg also claimed to be able to complete the arduous Murphy Challenge in 40 minutes, which involves running 1.6 kilometers, doing 100 pull-ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, and then running 1.6 kilometers with a weight of 9 kilograms.
Gaming companies have not missed this hot spot, and most predict that Zuckerberg's chances of winning will be even greater.
However, Musk's accomplices have already emerged. According to reports, former professional boxer Andrew Tate has volunteered to coach Musk. Tate is still an active internet celebrity in the public opinion arena in Europe and America, but his words and actions are quite controversial. Despite being banned by most social media platforms, Twitter, controlled by Musk, is an exception.
However, at a critical moment, Musk's mother Mayer appeared. This woman, who is still elegant and intellectual despite being over seventy years old, tweeted multiple times to dissuade her and suggested that the two replace martial arts with literary combat.
After Mayer announced that the fighting had been cancelled, Musk replied, "Mom, don't, I'm fighting him.".
Subsequently, some netizens persuaded Musk to "listen to his mother's words", and Musk reluctantly said, "She never lets me do interesting things!"
Grudges have been accumulated for a long time
The reason why Musk and Zuckerberg's "fight" has attracted widespread attention this time is not unrelated to their special identities. This "booking" is also regarded as the most valuable event in the technology industry.
As the world's richest man, Musk has a commercial empire consisting of businesses such as Tesla, Space Exploration Technology, and Twitter, with a current wealth of approximately $236 billion, earning him the nickname "Silicon Valley Iron Man".
As the founder of Facebook, Zuckerberg currently ranks tenth on Bloomberg's billionaire list, with a net worth of approximately $104 billion, sometimes attracting attention for his robot like appearance and facial expressions.
The feud between the two in the martial arts world has a long history. For example, in 2016, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was originally planned to launch a Facebook satellite into space, but it exploded, causing the satellite to be destroyed. Zuckerberg was deeply disappointed with this.
Afterwards, the two collided in ideas due to their different views on artificial intelligence technology. Musk has repeatedly warned about the risks associated with this technology, while Zuckerberg's view is more optimistic.
In addition to the grudges in the martial arts world, Musk and Zuckerberg are currently facing fierce competition for commercial interests.
A reasonable guess is that if Musk and Zuckerberg really engage in a cage fight, they will be live streaming on their respective social media platforms - Twitter and Photo Wall. These two major social platforms may even create new traffic records as a result.
Bai Dana said, "This will be the most watched fight in history, breaking all paid viewing records." He said that the cost of a single viewing could reach $100, with the potential to raise "hundreds of millions of dollars" for charitable organizations.
As a result, some comments suggest that regardless of whether the deal is ultimately agreed upon or not, this remote "booking" highlights the increasingly fierce commercial interest competition between the two, injecting new elements into the "battle" for social media advertising revenue.
