Who will win in fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg after billionaires agreed to fight
>
In an age-old battle between two of the world’s richest tech titans, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have vowed to throw it down in a Las Vegas cage fight.
While Musk is by far the richer of the two and is both heavier and taller than his Meta counterpart, Zuckerberg poses a serious threat, thanks to his great passion for Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
The Facebook founder posted on his Instagram Stories asking Musk to “send me the location” after Musk tweeted Wednesday night that he boasted that he’s “up for a cage match if he is.”
Following an article by The edge regarding the intended fight between the two tech giants, Musk responded to the venue by tweeting, “Vegas Octagon.”
The Octagon is the official competition mat and fenced design for Ultimate Fighting Championship cage battles.
The social media taunts — appropriately delivered on the respective platforms owned by the billionaires — set the stage for a rumble in Silicon Valley that would dwarf the scope of the roster of celebrities who are big hits in Las Vegas.
By analyzing both Musk and Zuckerberg through a more unorthodox story about the tape, DailyMail.com estimates the battle between the two.

Age, height and weight differences
Now that Musk is 12 years his senior, Zuckerberg hopes to bypass Tesla’s boss.
Zuckerberg comes in at 5’7′ and weighs about 70 kg, is the lighter and more agile of the two and has fought and won in jiu-jitsu competitions before.
Zuckerberg recently won two medals in a jiu-jitsu tournament and has said in the past that his diet is more vegetarian.
He shared, “This year I actually became a vegetarian as the only meat I eat is from animals I’ve killed myself.”
His go-to food is said to be grilled chicken, which he eats for its high protein content.
On an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk spoke openly about his fitness regimen, saying, “The older I get, the harder [it is] stay slim, that’s for sure.’
After word of the battle spread on social media, Musk tweeted, “I hardly ever train except pick up my kids and throw them in the air.”
Musk has both height and weight on his side, with Total Shape estimating the billionaire weighs around 81kg and stands at 5’11’.
When it comes to his diet, he claims he starts his day with octopus, a bowl of ice cream, eight oatmeal cookies, and a donut. “I’d rather eat good food and live shorter,” he said.
With age on his side and the fact that he’s already in combat, Zuckerberg remains a favorite to outsmart the more senior tech giant in Musk.
Zuckerberg replied on his Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of Musk’s challenge, writing, “Send me location.” The CEO of Meta recently posted a jiu-jitsu tournament in May

Disciplines
An avid martial artist, Zuckerberg has shared photos of himself winning Brazilian jiu jitsu tournaments on his Instagram page.
Zuckerberg competed and medaled at the BJJ Tour competition in Woodside, California, in May.
He wrote, “Entered my first jiu jitsu tournament and won some medals for the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu team.”
Meta’s CEO walked away with a gold medal in the Nogi Master 1 White Belt Feather Weight Division and the silver medal in the Gi Master 2 White Belt Feather Weight Division.
Previously, comedian, UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan hailed Zuckerberg as a “f**king savage” for his match wins.
On his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Musk said he’s spent his life training Kyokushin karate, taekwondo, judo, and “Brazilian jiu-jitsu briefly.”
Musk also shared a photo of him fighting a sumo wrestler in the past.
After word of the battle spread on social media, Musk tweeted, “I hardly ever train except pick up my kids and throw them in the air.”
Based on this statistic, Zuckerberg remains a clear winner in the contest once again.

Net value
With a net worth more than double that of Zuckerberg, Musk proves himself seemingly untouchable as the world’s richest man.
The CEO of Twitter reclaimed the crown as the world’s richest person, knocking luxury goods giant LVMH boss Bernard Arnault off the top spot earlier this month.
Because he derives most of his wealth from shares in Tesla, an increase in the electric car company’s value earlier this month puts him firmly ahead of Zuckerberg, who places 9 spots behind Musk – allowing Musk to triumph over his octagonal rival.
Meta versus Twitter
Musk took control of the social media giant last year and has so far experienced highs and lows running the site, which has about 353 million annual users.
So far, he has faced a personnel crisis after 3,700 employees were laid off within days of being named CEO.
They found out when they couldn’t log into their emails and work computers. Musk defended the layoffs, saying he had no choice as the company was losing $4 million a day.
While staff were cut, the first users of the site also left en masse.
Last month, an evaluation of the social media site showed the company had lost value, losing a third of its value since he took over.
Twitter’s value is now just a third of what it was when CEO Elon Musk bought it in October, about $15 billion compared to last year’s $45 billion sticker price
On the other hand, Meta, which includes sites like Facebook and Instagram, has more than 3.7 billion monthly users worldwide – far more than Twitter.
While Meta, formerly known as Facebook, suffered a major share price drop when it was first announced and went through a rocky transition, it has remained a social media powerhouse.
Zuckerberg, who is largely responsible for the growth of social media with his site Facebook, is a clear winner in this area.
Businesses
Zuckerberg’s Meta is considered one of the world’s most valuable companies and is one of the top ten largest publicly traded companies in the United States.
With more than 77,000 employees as of March this year and assets totaling $185 billion, it is considered one of the Big Five US technology companies alongside Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.

Last year, Musk made his way into the social media world with his acquisition of Twitter.
In addition, he is involved in space exploration with his company SpaceX and has a firm grasp on the electric car market with the widely popular Tesla car company.
With more companies spanning a wider range of topics, such as space exploration, tunneling with The Boring Company, and neurotech with Neuralink – DailyMail.com rounds out the companies to Musk.
Pronunciation
With Zuckerberg winning on three of the five aspects, DailyMail.com declares Meta’s CEO as the likely winner if the fight is greenlit.
Zuckerberg, an avid martial artist who keeps himself in great shape, should have no problem throwing his experience on Musk, who admits he doesn’t have a strict training regimen.
Fitness site Total shape also estimates that, if the two men met in the octagon, Zuckerberg would come out on top.
A spokesperson for the site said: “Putting both Titans in a cage would allow Mark Zuckerberg to have the sharpness of agility and stamina needed to take down Musk, since Musk cannot forcefully attack him earlier in the fight.
“When it comes to ideal body type and overall stamina and skill for cage fighting, Mark Zuckerberg would have the upper hand.
“With a high protein, healthy diet and demonstrative skills in mixed martial arts, he would most likely win.”
