The Blubber

According to social media posts by Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, it appears that the two billionaires might engage in a physical confrontation in the near future. Although it may sound like a joke, both individuals seem to be serious about it.

The sequence of events began on Tuesday when Musk responded to a tweet discussing the news of Facebook's potential development of a competitor to Twitter. Musk tweeted, accompanied by a crying-laughing emoji, expressing his belief that Earth wouldn't eagerly embrace being solely controlled by Zuckerberg without any alternative options. He added that at least it would be "sane," expressing some initial concern.

A Twitter user then cautioned Musk to be careful, citing Zuckerberg's proficiency in jiu-jitsu. In response, Musk humorously suggested a cage match if Zuckerberg was interested.

Initially, it seemed like a playful exchange, but things took a more serious turn when Zuckerberg shared a screenshot of Musk's tweet on Instagram with the message, "send me location." Subsequently, a Twitter user posted their own screenshot of Zuckerberg's Instagram, prompting Musk to declare, "If this is for real, I will do it."

I have attempted to contact Meta, the parent company of Facebook, to inquire about the extent of Zuckerberg's seriousness regarding a genuine physical confrontation, but I have not yet received a response. However, tech news outlet The Verge did manage to elicit a statement from Meta on Wednesday night, stating, "The story speaks for itself."
