PARIS — Tech titans Mr Mark Zuckerberg and Mr Elon Musk are in a fierce business rivalry that has spilt over into a playground spat, with the two men offering to fight each other in a cage.
Months after Mr Musk took over Twitter, Mr Zuckerberg's Meta hinted it was planning to launch its own text-based social media platform – essentially a direct rival.
Mr Zuckerberg, who has followed the trend of tech bosses getting buff and posting martial arts videos, responded on Wednesday on his Instagram Stories with a screenshot of the message and a response:"Send me location."In a tweet published on Thursday morning Singapore time, Mr Alex Heath, the editor of American technology news website The Verge, wrote:"I’ve confirmed that Mark Zuckerberg is serious about fighting @elonmusk and is now waiting on the details .
The Tesla and SpaceX boss bought the social media firm for US$44 billion before sacking much of its staff and allowing banned right-wing conspiracy theorists back onto the platform – sending advertisers fleeing. In an interview earlier this month with US podcaster Mr Lex Fridman, Mr Zuckerberg was asked to say something positive about Mr Musk's handling of Twitter.
