Move over dubious submersibles piloted by video game controllers – days after the Titan’s disappearance en route to the Titanic, billionaires have already started innovating new, horrifying ways to die.

Enter the billionaire cage match possibly pitting Tesla mogul Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg against each other in a fight to the death (… or, at least a snore-inducing knockout).


Musk and Zuckerberg’s fight plans all began on Wednesday, June 21, after Musk took to Twitter to condemn Threads, Meta’s rumored text-based competitor to his newly-acquired site.



“I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options,” the tech mogul wrote.


“Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the jujitsu now,” user @kwmarkoff26656 replied to the post, referencing Zuckerberg, who famously adopted the martial art.


Yet, instead of opting to settle their differences like businessmen — ceaselessly suing each other until the other dies, goes broke, or endures some sort of Succession esque coup.


 Elon was down for the challenge.


“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” he snapped back.



Though the Meta CEO’s most recent competition may have ended in him (allegedly) getting knocked out by an Uber engineer, a claim Zuckerberg and his trainer vehemently denied, arguing that the snoring the referee said he heard was actually just a series of “effortful grunts” (sure, Mark), the social media icon was ready to tussle.


"Send me location,” he wrote in an Instagram story alongside a screengrab of Musk’s interaction.



Though it’s unclear if and when this battle will go down – though based on Musk’s suggestion of the Vegas Octagon in Las Vegas, Nev., as a possible venue and a Meta representative remarking that Zuckerberg’s comment “speaks for itself” –  MMA fighter and notable Romanian prisoner Andrew Tate has already gotten in on the bout, offering to train Musk in the battle for nerd supremacy.



“Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines,” Tate, posted in a seemingly since-deleted Tweet.


“But now we can restore honor with a strike at the enemy clan's leader. I will train you @elonmusk. You will not lose.”


We think they should have their fight en route to the Titanic, preferably on a small DIY submarine.
