Elon Musk seems to have already regretted his words about the duel he suggested with Mark Zuckerberg that he be kept in a cage. What started as a joke has gone too far, and now it looks like two former enemies are taking their upcoming match seriously. Musk recently tried to divert the conversation by saying he needed surgery and time to recover, but it didn’t do much. Now, a new idea has been offered, which the 52-year-old billionaire happily embraced.

Contention

TED curator Chris Anderson suggested Organize a “cage discussion” on “How to Build a Great Future”. According to his vision, it should be an “unhindered” verbal duel that will air on X and Instagram as they prepare to bring the livestream back to the platform.

The mask was not asked for a long time:

This seems like a good idea too. This is indeed wrestling as a noble sport (I believe). We hope to humbly express our admiration for those who previously fought for noble causes.
– wrote back.

Anderson later went on to state that “in 15% of MMA fights, someone suffers a concussion,” resulting in the loss of valuable brain cells that would be very upsetting for the likes of Musk and Zuckerberg. He also tagged the Meta section in the post, but still hasn’t responded.

At the moment it is not clear whether war will take place because the situation is changing almost daily. Last week, Zuckerberg was ready to take the challenge right here and now. “I’m ready today,” he wrote in response to a post where Musk claimed he “raised the bar all day to prepare for a fight.”

When he first challenged on August 26, I proposed but he didn’t approve,
Wrote Zuckerberg.

It’s interesting that even though Zuckerberg has been practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu for many years, Musk really hopes for victory. This is a highly strenuous combat sport that specifically builds stamina. “If the fight is short, I’ll probably win, – wrote Elon. – Iif it’s tall, it can win because of stamina“.

Stamina will definitely not be Musk’s strength. According to him, he is almost twice as heavy as Zuckerberg and leads a questionable lifestyle.
