The tech billionaire’s latest challenge comes after a previous stalemate in fight negotiations. In August, Zuckerberg suggested “moving on” from the idea, citing Musk’s apparent lack of seriousness and reluctance to confirm a date. Despite this, Musk has continued to express his eagerness to confront the Meta CEO.
Interestingly, Musk’s renewed challenge follows a rare moment of agreement between the two tech moguls. Just a day prior, Musk concurred with Zuckerberg’s criticism of closed-source AI model providers, responding “+1 for Zuck” to the Meta CEO’s comments on the open-source versus closed-source AI debate.

The potential fight has garnered significant attention in both tech and sports circles. UFC CEO Dana White previously stated that a cage match between Musk and Zuckerberg could be the “biggest fight ever done.”
The origin of this unusual challenge traces back to rumors about Meta launching a “Twitter rival.” Musk, who acquired Twitter (now X) for $44 billion in October 2022, had jokingly suggested on the platform that such a move would give Zuckerberg control over Earth, leading to the initial cage match proposal.
While the likelihood of an actual fight remains uncertain, this ongoing saga continues to captivate public interest, blending the worlds of tech rivalries and combat sports in an unprecedented manner.
