Just when you thought toxic masculinity was dead: Emmanuel Macron chugs a beer and Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg agree to a cage fight.
Elon Musk tweeted Wednesday that he was “up for a cage fight” with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg — to which Zuck replied on his Instagram Story, “send me location.” Musk came back with: “Vegas Octagon,” the fenced-in area used for Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Musk also tweeted “I’m gonna use a move called ‘The Walrus’, where I just lie on you, and you can’t get away” and “I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air.”
Meanwhile, Zuck has already been training in mixed martial arts and has recently won jiu-jitsu tournaments.
Luckily for Musk, help is on hand. Andrew Tate, a favorite of Musk’s new Twitter algorithm who has recently been charged with rape and human trafficking, has offered to train Musk, tweeting:
“Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines.
“But now we can restore honour with a strike at the enemy clans leader.
“I will train you @elonmusk.
“You will not lose.”
Over the past few months, Musk has been taunting Zuckerberg on Twitter with tweets like “Zuck my 👅.” And during an internal all-hands meeting at Meta last week, chief product officer Chris Cox told employees the company thinks creators want a version of Twitter that is “sanely run,” which was meet with cheers from staff. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman, Zuck claimed: “I’ve always thought that Twitter should have a billion people using it.” Them’s fighting words in Silicon Valley.
Cockburn is enthralled by the prospect of a showdown: imagine Joe Rogan lying on the mat interviewing a bludgeoned billionaire. Perhaps the winner can take on Jeff Bezos and unify the belts? May the best tech bro win…
