The idea of a fight between Musk and Zuckerberg first gained traction last year when they exchanged playful remarks on social media, sparking interest in a potential Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) match. While interest waned over time, Musk reignited the conversation on July 24. In a video shared on the platform X, he declared, "I’ll fight Zuckerberg any place, any time, any rules."
This is not the first time Musk has mentioned the possibility of a fight. In an October 2023 appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, he jokingly challenged Zuckerberg to a duel, saying, "I challenge him to a duel under any circumstances. I’m willing to fight him in a house, on a mouse, with a louse."
The initial exchange began in June 2023 when Musk suggested he was "up for a cage match" with Zuckerberg ahead of the launch of Threads, a new social media platform. Zuckerberg responded promptly, posting on Instagram and asking Musk to "send the location."
While Musk has publicly accepted the challenge, Zuckerberg has been seriously training in mixed martial arts with UFC champions, which has led to questions about how the fight would turn out. Despite Musk’s size advantage, experts point out that skill is often more important than size in combat sports.
