Earlier, Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg agreed to have a caged Jiu-Jitsu fight with Tesla CEO Elon Musk after pressure on social media.
In what has been billed as the biggest jiu-jitsu fight of the century, Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) and CEO of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) Elon Musk agreed to lock each other in a physical contest. The battle was ostensibly initiated by Mario Novell, CEO of IBC Group’s Web3 incubator platform, after highlighting the competitive nature between Twitter and Meta in the social media industry. However, Musk’s mother, May Musk – popularly known as a career model and nutritionist – called off the fight before it could materialize.
Notably, May stressed the cancellation of the fight via Twitter as more people cheered on both sides. In a video, Musk joked how his body mass could help him win a fight even though Zuckerberg could have the skills in Jiu Jitsu.
“Actually, I called off the fight. I haven’t told them yet. But I will keep saying the fight is called off, just in case..” confirmed.
Interestingly, Musk responded with facial emoji and tears of joy, which sparked mixed reactions from followers. Reportedly, the cage fight that was scheduled to take place via UFC style between Musk and Zuckerberg will use Joe Rogan as a potential referee. Indeed, UFC President Dana White has confirmed that he has spoken to both Elon and Zuckerberg and indicated that they are serious. However, May insisted that the two fight with words only or through an armchair.
“No joking. Fight with words only. In chairs. 4 feet tall. The funniest person wins,” she noted in the tweet.
