Elon Musk agrees to fight Mark Zuckerberg \u201cany time\u201d under \u201cany rules\u201d YouTube: TEDTwitter\/X owner Elon Musk has officially agreed to fight fellow tech mogul Mark Zuckerberg, and he\u2019s game to throw down with his opponent \u201cany time\u201d under \u201cany rules.\u201d In summer 2023, the possibility of an MMA match between tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg went viral as the two traded verbal blows across social media. However, things got quiet in fall of that same year, and nothing much had been said about the potential bout for months\u2026 until now. On July 24, Musk addressed the situation in response to a question from an apparent fan, saying he\u2019s more than willing to meet his rival in the octagon \u2014 or anywhere, for that matter. \u201cI\u2019ll fight Zuckerberg any place, any time, any rules,\u201d he said with a smile in a video that\u2019s taking X by storm. This is the latest statement to come from Musk about the Zuckerberg fight in quite some time, but it\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s expressed such a sentiment. In an episode of the Joe Rogan podcast in October 2023, Musk said something very similar. \u201cI challenge him to a duel under any circumstances,\u201d the Tesla CEO said. \u201cI\u2019m willing to fight him in a house, on a mouse, with a louse.\u201d The feud between these two billionaires first sparked in June 2023 after Musk said he was \u201cup for a cage match\u201d with Zuckerberg ahead of its Threads launch, which at the time, was merely considered a \u201crumor.\u201d Zuckerberg was quick to respond, asking him to \u201csend the location\u201d in a post on his Instagram stories. Given Zuckerberg\u2019s proficiency in martial arts, fans were keen to see if he\u2019d get to show off his skills against his business rival. Although Musk publicly accepted the challenge in a taunt on X, nothing has come to fruition since then, and Zuckerberg has said he\u2019s not \u201cholding his breath\u201d for things to actually pan out. For Zuckerberg\u2019s part, he\u2019s truly gone all-in with MMA, even training with UFC champs Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya. Although Musk does boast a size advantage, combat sports experts know that size isn\u2019t everything if an opponent has the skills to put you in a hold. At the time of writing, Zuckerberg has yet to respond to Musk\u2019s latest callout, leaving fans anxious to see where their feud will go next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
