Elon Musk, 51, and Mark Zuckerberg, 39, are ready to throw down.
Yep, the two tech billionaires have been taunting each other online, teasing they’re up for a legit physical fight against one another.
And according to Zuckerberg’s people, it might not be a joke.

Tesla and Twitter boss Elon Musk recently tweeted that he would be “up for a cage fight” against the Meta CEO.
Zuckerberg took to his own platform, Instagram to pen his response.
He kept it short and simple, saying “send me location”.
Not one to back down, Musk did just that, suggesting one of the UFC’s top venues, the Vegas Octagon.
“I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’, where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing,” he said.
But he might need a few more moves under his belt because Zuckerberg is a Jiu-Jitsu fighter who has won legitimate tournaments.
This all came about after Zuckerberg’s Meta reported plans to build a platform to rival Twitter.
Meta’s chief product officer Chris Cox told employees last week that they wanted to create a text-based social media platform that was “sanely run”.
His announcement reportedly drew cheers from the crowd and was seen as a bit of a dig at Musk’s approach to running Twitter.
The responses to the taunts on Twitter have been hilarious, with Fame MMA even offering up their venue.
There’s even a poll asking who would win out of the two, and thousands of people have voted.
As it stands, Zuckerberg is leading with 51.6 percent of the votes.
“I love you Elon, but you better start training,” one said.
