Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have been gearing up for a cage fight, which UFC chief Dana White has also clarified saying it isn’t a gimmick fight. He tweeted, “This isn’t a gimmick fight. Gimmick is MMA guys going to Boxing and getting beat. We have seen it already and know how it ends. This is a fight between 2 of the most powerful/richest guys in the world. Who will win? Who has seen this before? NOBODY. It’s also a crossover fight that literally EVERY EVERYONE will watch.”
The verbal spat began when Elon Musk tweeted a cheeky comment, “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options. Atleast it will be ‘sane’. Was worried there for a moment,” to a tweet which had details of Meta’s Twitter rival app- Project 92 or Threads that the company is working on. Reports of the cage fight began when Musk later tweeted that he was "up for a cage fight" with Mark Zuckerberg. The Meta CEO shared a screenshot of Musk’s tweet and added the words on it- “Send me location”.
