Musk has been engaging in Twitter taunts directed at Zuckerberg, including remarks like “Zuck my 👅.”
In a recent internal all-hands meeting at Meta, Chief Product Officer Chris Cox energized employees by stating that the company believes creators desire a version of Twitter that is “properly managed.” Zuckerberg himself expressed his belief that Twitter should have a user base of one billion people in a recent podcast interview with Lex Fridman.
When it comes to the hypothetical scenario of tech billionaire CEOs physically battling, a clash between Musk and Zuckerberg would undoubtedly generate significant interest.
Musk, aged 51, holds a physical advantage over Zuckerberg and has spoken about his experience in “real hard-core street fights” during his upbringing in South Africa. Meanwhile, 39-year-old Zuckerberg is an aspiring MMA fighter who has already achieved success in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. Additionally, he claims to have recently completed the demanding “Murph Challenge” workout in just under 40 minutes.
