The interesting exchange left thousands of people quite bemused but many of them have been wondering, who would win if the two billionaires decided to rough it out in a cage fight.

MUSK VS ZUCKERBERG: A FIGHT WORTH WATCHING

Earlier this week, Elon Musk responded cheekily to a Twitter users who claimed that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was developing an app similar to Twitter.

“I’m 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,” wrote Musk.

The 51-year-old was then jokingly warned by the same user not to mess with Zuckerberg who practices Brazilian ju-jitsu and recently picked up two medals in a jiu-jitsu tournament.

This appears to have riled Musk up even more because he then wrote that he was up for a cage fight if Zuckerberg agreed.

Just when everyone thought the young Facebook founder was going to blue-tick Musk, he asked in an Instagram post that Musk send his location.

Naturally, reports on the exchange blew up. One publication even stated that Zuckerberg was more than ready to take on Musk.

Seeing this, Musk — who is currently worth $236b — responded that he wants the fight to take place at the Octagon in Las Vegas.

WHO WOULD WALK AWAY A WINNER?

While both billionaires have remained quiet so far, many can’t help but wonder who would walk away from the cage fight victorious.

While Musk and Zuckerberg have proven themselves brilliant in the tech world, the chips are not stacked fairly when it comes to their physical fitness levels, their ages and their body structures.

Zuckerberg previously opened up about eating mostly vegan and is 12 years younger than Musk. “This year I’ve basically become a vegetarian since the only meat I’m eating is from animals I’ve killed myself,” he shared.

Musk on the other hand once confessed that the only exercise he gets is throwing his kids up and catching them. He also weighs 81 kg, around 10 more than his younger and more agile competitor.

When it comes to his diet, the tech genius didn’t shy away from disclosing that he prefers donuts to apples.

“I’d rather eat tasty food and live a shorter life,” he said.

So who would win according to a Total Shape article?

Zuckerberg, says a spokesperson from the fitness company, would have a great advantage over Musk due to his agility and endurance.

“When it comes down the ideal body type and general endurance and skill for cage fighting, Mark Zuckerberg would have the upper hand,” said the spokesperson.
