Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk say they’re up for a cage match. Who would win?
In the red corner, the world’s richest person, and in the blue corner, the world’s richest millennial: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have agreed to a cage
match, after Musk jokingly suggested the bout
in response to efforts by Meta to launch a Twitter competitor. “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday in response to a post about Meta’s rumoured
Threads app. The app, previously known inside Instagram as Project 92 and Barcelona
, has been pitched
to celebrities and influencers as a “stable place to build and grow” their audiences
