Musk Challenges Zuckerberg to a Potential Cage Fight: Here’s his Response

In a surprising turn of events, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has boldly declared his willingness to engage in a cage fight with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, adding a new layer of intrigue to their ongoing feud.

During a recent meeting with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Capitol Hill, Musk was asked by reporters about his plans for the anticipated cage fight with Zuckerberg.

“If he wants to,” Musk responded cryptically, leaving the possibility open for a face-off in the ring.

For months now, Musk and Zuckerberg have playfully toyed with the idea of a cage fight between themselves. Back in June, Musk openly stated that he would be “up for a cage match” if Zuckerberg was also interested.

However, the actual timing of the match has been uncertain due to Musk’s potential minor surgery. Musk also teased an “epic location” for the fight, claiming to have received confirmation from Italian officials.

Zuckerberg, on the other hand, has dismissed the idea of a cage fight as a mere joke. In August, he commented, “If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously,” on his Threads social media platform.

Nevertheless, the playful banter between the two continues, with Musk even threatening to personally show up at Zuckerberg’s house for a fight if he answered the door.

However, a spokesperson from Meta quickly responded, stating that Zuckerberg was currently traveling and not at his Palo Alto residence. They also emphasized that Zuckerberg takes the sport seriously and would not engage in a fight with someone who unexpectedly showed up at his doorstep.
