Twitter owner Elon Musk and Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg’s cage match has become the talk of the town. It won’t be wrong to say that the prospect of these two high-profile tech billionaires battling each other in a bout for the ages has generated tremendous buzz on social media. After Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cage match on Twitter, the martial art enthusiast responded with a “send me the location” note.

It all started when Elon Musk responded to a user on Twitter who said that Facebook is planning to come up with a Twitter-like platform. 

Responding to a report that stated Facebook is planning to come up with a platform named Thread, Musk said, "I am sure Earth can't wait to be exclusively under Zuck's thumb with no other options. At least it will be 'sane'. Was worried there for a moment."
