The CEO of Meta (previously Facebook), Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to a cage fight with Tesla founder Elon Musk, who has challenged him.
This follows rumors that Meta was preparing to develop a new app called Threads to compete with Twitter.
In reaction, Musk then challenged Zuckerberg to a fight, saying he was “up for a cage match”.
The Meta CEO responded by by posting a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption; “send me location.”
A spokesperson for Meta confirmed to The Verge that Zuckerberg’s response was not a joke, saying “the story speaks for itself”.
The Twitter boss apparently named a location on Thursday, replying on Twitter to news of the matchup with the words “Vegas Octagon”, which is the nickname of the UFC Apex centre in Nevada, Texas.
Zuckerberg, 38 previously talked about his martial arts training on Facebook, adding that he competed in his first jiu-jitsu tournament, having trained with UFC prospects in the build-up.
Meanwhile, Musk had earlier said on Twitter that he does not engage in routine exercise.
“I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids and throwing them in the air,” he said.
