American business magnate Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have sparked hilarious reactions online after the duo seemingly agreed to a physical fight on social media. The conversation began on June 20, 2023, when the 51-year-old responded to a tweet talking about the news that Zuckerberg's Facebook might be working on an app that would compete with Twitter.
On a tweet shared by Mario Nawfal, it was allegedly claimed that the new app's name would be THREADS. It further said:
"META's chief product officer Chris Cox threw shade at @elonmusk's Twitter by claiming Meta’s 'been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run.'"
To this, Elon Musk took a dig at Mark Zuckerberg and sarcastically said that Earth "cannot wait" to be exclusively "under Zuck's thumb" and have no other option left.
As of this writing, Musk's response gained 17.1K likes and 1,151 comments. However, things escalated when one of the users pointed out to Musk that he should be careful with his words since Mark does ju-jitsu.
The idea of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg contesting in a cage fight drew hilarious responses from netizens, with one of them comparing Zuckerberg and Musk's fight by referencing historical political leaders Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.
