The two billionaire entrepreneurs, who earlier traded barbs from afar became direct competitors when Mark Zuckerberg launched Twitter's competitor Threads in July.
When did controversy erupt between the billionaires?
The controversy began on June 20, when Musk tweeted that he would be "up for a cage match" with Zuckerberg. Despite knowing the fact that Mark is trained in jiu jitsu.
Mark accepted the Musk challenge and shared his Instagram stories where he wrote: "Send location." In response to that Musk replied "Vegas Octagon," an arena in the US city of Las Vegas where mixed martial arts championship bouts are held.
Fans of both billionaires looked excited about the ferocious exchange and started betting on potential winners. Mark Zuckerberg has some experience in fighting and the Meta owner is trained in jiu-jitsu. While 51-year-old Elon Musk does have some size advantage, Mark looks like the clear favourite.
