Elon Musk Agrees to Fight Mark Zuckerberg: ‘Vegas Octagon’

thewrap.com:

famously isn’t all that good at actually being funny. Which is why we think, but we can’t be sure, that he was joking when he claimed he would fight fellow billionaire Mark Zuckerberg in a cage match and then named the place he’d do it: “Vegas Octagon,” came the tweet on Wednesday night.

But if he’s not joking, then at some point, maybe (?), Musk and Zuckerberg will apparently beat each other up in Las Vegas’s UFC Apex arena, known as the Octagon.

Which, sure, ok.First, let’s back up because this whole thing is a lot. Earlier Thursday, responding to a report that Facebook parent company Meta is working on some kind of Twitter competitor, one of Musk’s fanboys joked about Zuckerberg’s interest in martial arts.

In response, Musk declared, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”Later in the day, Zuckerberg responded in an Instagram story with a simple message to Musk: “Send Me Location.”Of course the snake has to eventually swallow its own tail, and so it is that on Thursday night, Musk accepted — again, we think this is probably all a joke — Zuckerberg’s terms and picked Las Vegas.Vegas OctagonSo to repeat.
