Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk Will Fight In A Cage Match

Author Jeff Gorra

Facebook (or Meta) vs. Twitter, it’s the main event we’ve all been waiting for. And yes, it’s true: Mark Zuckerberg agreed to fight Elon Musk in a cage match earlier this week.

But why? Well, technically, Musk pushed first. CBS explained how the Telsa billionaire was simply responding to a tweet that addressed Meta’s idea of creating a rival platform to Twitter. In the tweet, Musk simply writes, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”

Shortly after, Zuckerberg posted a response to his Instagram story. It was just three words, but packed a heavy punch saying, “Send Me Location.”

Social Media Showdown

Though it is still to be determined whether or not this banter is to be taken seriously, Musk has continued the dialog. When a “Telsa and SpaceX inspired” artist shared Zuckerberg’s response with Musk, he took it a step further by saying, “If this is for real, I will do it.”

The Verge reported that Zuckerberg’s response on Instagram was not a joke. Musk, of course, had thought on that, with a tweet suggesting the battle take place at the Vegas Octagon.

What If This Actually Does Happen?

An on-going challenge to social media is that it allows for bickering from behind a device. Users don’t typically expect the difference of opinions to lead to a potential pay-per-view event, but here we are, with their respective leaders using their platforms to flirt with the idea.

Nonetheless, if this throw-down were to go down, here are some credentials you would find in the program.

In the light blue corner, Musk stands six foot one. And in the royal blue corner, Zuckerberg lists at five foot seven, allegedly. Musk may have the size advantage, but Zuckerberg has jiu-jitsu skills. As The Verge pointed out, he’s even flaunted a few medals as of late.

Time will tell if Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg actually fight in a cage match. If they do, what happens to the social platform on the losing side of the final bell?

12 Of The Most Unique MLB Stadium Attractions

Major League Baseball has a deep respect for their game’s rich history. Attending a ballgame can be a great experience that allows fans to marvel at baseball culture. Furthermore, most MLB parks have designed stadium attractions that make them unique amongst the 30 venues in the league.

From museums to bodies of water to fan-zone fun, the MLB stadiums across the country each have something that is representative of their character. Often you will find baseball enthusiasts track how many ballparks they have been to. In addition, it is common for fans to build trips to other cities to have a new MLB park experience.

MLB is the only professional sport in the country where each team has its own dedicated stadium. For example, in the NFL, the Jets and Giants share Metlife Stadium. Many NBA team share their home arena with the NHL team in their city. In professional baseball, each of the 30 teams has their own home field that is theirs alone. This enables the organization to build more character specific to the club.

The interior of an MLB ballpark is all about the players. Though there is a mysterious aura about the clubhouse, given that they are underground. The common thread in modern-day construction is centered around the ballclub. The intent is to make each clubhouse comfortable, hi-tech, and private for the players and coaches. The rest of the stadium is all about the fan experience.
