Twitter/X founder Elon Musk has formally accepted a challenge to engage in a fight with fellow tech titan Mark Zuckerberg, stating that he is willing to face his opponent at any time and under any conditions.
During the summer of 2023, the idea of a potential MMA fight between technology moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg became widely popular as the two engaged in a war of words on various social media platforms.
Despite the initial buzz, the topic of the potential bout had faded away in the fall of that year and had not been mentioned for several months… until recently.
In response to a question from an apparent fan, Musk addressed the situation on July 24 and expressed his willingness to meet his rival in the octagon, or anywhere else for that matter.
“With a confident smile, he declared in a viral video that he is willing to take on Zuckerberg in any location and under any circumstances.”

Although this is the most recent statement from Musk regarding the Zuckerberg feud, it is not the first time he has shared this viewpoint. Back in October 2023, during an episode of the Joe Rogan podcast, Musk expressed a similar sentiment.
The Tesla CEO expressed his willingness to engage in a duel with him under any circumstances, stating that he would not back down whether it be in a house, on a mouse, or even with a louse.
The rivalry between these two wealthy individuals began in June 2023 when Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cage match prior to the launch of Threads, which was initially believed to be a mere rumor.

In a prompt response, Zuckerberg requested the location to be sent in a post on his Instagram stories. Due to Zuckerberg’s expertise in martial arts, supporters were eager to witness if he would have the opportunity to display his abilities against his business adversary.
Despite Musk’s public acceptance of the challenge with a taunt on X, there has been no progress since then. Zuckerberg has stated that he is not expecting any real outcomes from it.

Despite his size advantage, Musk’s dedication to MMA cannot be underestimated. He has trained extensively with UFC champions Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya, proving that skill and technique are more important factors in combat sports than sheer size. Zuckerberg, on the other hand, has fully embraced MMA and is also training with these elite fighters.
As of the present time, Zuckerberg has still not responded to Musk’s most recent challenge, causing fans to worry about what direction their rivalry will take next.
