Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight last month
In June, Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cage match as the former made a sarcastic comment under a post that spoke about META's Threads. When a user wrote, "Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the ju-jitsu now," he replied with "I'm up for a cage match if he is lol." Zuckerberg posted the screenshot of this tweet and said "Send me location."
