The growing rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is proving to be an entertaining one for the fans. From calling for an actual cage fight, Musk has now called for the most bizarre competitions one could think of. The Tesla CEO was on his usual stroll on Twitter when he fired a few shots at the Facebook co-founder. Followers of the pair are seeing this as an escalation in their ongoing war of words, which could be fuelled by Meta’s recent launch of Threads, a competitor app for Twitter.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s recent rivalry kicked off a few weeks ago after the Twitter boss offered to fight ‘Zuck’ in a cage. Zuckerberg accepted the challenge, and the conversation just took off from there. The whole affair even roped in UFC president Dana White who stated his willingness to set up the fight. Following this, several UFC stars offered to help train both billionaires. Amid all this chaos, Zuckerberg launched Threads, taking the rivalry to a new level and prompting Musk to take more shots at him.
