Tesla CEO Elon Musk reignited his feud with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, challenging him to a fight "anywhere, anytime, with any rules".
Musk declared his willingness to fight with Zuckerberg in response to a post on social media platform X.
This came after an X user shared a conversation with a tourist guide discussing the much-hyped Musk vs Zuckerberg fight.
“|After the tour, I asked the tour guide about the Elon vs Zuck fight and he laughed and said, 'That’s something we would love to see'. He then proceeded to bring up and briefly talk about dogecoin so I tipped him some doge afterwards. It was absolutely amazing,” the user wrote.
In reply, Musk revived discussions about his rivalry with Zuckerberg that began in 2023.
He wrote, “I'm ready to fight Zuck anywhere, anytime, with any rules. LFG!!!"

Musk's response to the user witnessed a lot of mixed comments from others.
“The colosseum and tickets paid in dogecoin would be epic!” one user wrote, while another one added, “Zuck already won, Elon. Look at $Meta stock compared to $Tsla. He not only one, he put you in an X induced coma".
A third user added, “Anyone encouraging this should be added to the list of: “people who don’t have your back and want to watch you be a spectacle for their own amusement”.
A proposed fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg was among the most talked about topics last year, with many reports claiming that the tussle might take place inside a cage in Italy, while the whole fight would be live-streamed on Meta and X platforms. However, that never materialised and later Zuckerberg said it was "time to move on".
“If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously,” Zuckerberg posted on Threads back then.
As per reports, the public rivalry between them intensified after the success of Meta's Threads platforms in July.
