Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee addresses Elon Musk’s claim that suppressing Hunter Biden’s laptop story was election interference in The Bottom Line.
Elon Musk takes Twitter’s Facebook competition literally and challenges him to a cage fight with meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is quick to embrace it.
“Send me the location,” Zuckerberg said on Instagram, providing a screenshot of Musk’s original challenge. In the first tweet, Musk simply said, “I’m ready for a cage fight if he does lol.”
The potential competition seems to have started when several Twitter users, including Musk, commented on a report that Meta may be working on a Twitter-like application that would be a direct competitor to the platform.
“I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be under Zuck’s sole rule with no other choice,” Musk replied.

When a user pointed out that the meta chief trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and warned Musk to “be careful,” the Twitter owner said he was willing to cage him.
Musk, who often tweets memes, said this particular challenge is serious.
“If this is legit, I will,” he said when a user shared a screenshot of Zuckerberg’s response.

However, Musk, who is taller and heavier, later admitted that he “almost never” goes to the gym or works out “except to pick my kids up and throw them in the air.”
Musk also made a venue suggestion for the celebrity exhibition. “Vegas Octagon,” he wrote, referring to the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s octagonal cage.
He also responded with a fire emoji when a user suggested that the UFC’s Joe Rogan could officiate the competition.

In another tweet, Musk revealed that he has a “great move” that he calls “The Walrus.”
It’s about “where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing,” he wrote. Musk has previously said that the step is effective when one opponent has a size and weight advantage over the other.
Zuckerberg recently won a white-belt 149-pound division no-gi tournament in Silicon Valley. He also placed second in the Gi category that same day, according to ESPN.

“He’s great,” Camarillo said of Zuckerberg, according to ESPN. “He’s an extremely hard worker, as everyone knows. But a lot of people have a business and they’re successful and they have that side of their life and they rarely delve into the physical side, especially in something like jiu-‘ jitsu and MMA and have the same success or even get through day 1 or month 1 beyond.”
He continued, “He’s not that type of guy. I think he has a good balance between what he does in his business and what he does physically. And he’s outstanding. He’s one of the best students I’ve ever had.”
