Mark Zuckerberg calls off Elon Musk cage match

Published

on

Over the past month, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have been toying with the idea of a head-to-head Las Vegas cage match, hinting at a potentially epic showdown.

However, recent developments suggest that the much-anticipated fight may never come to fruition, leaving us wondering if this marks the end of an intriguing era in technology.

During an internal meeting at Meta, Zuckerberg expressed uncertainty about the match’s likelihood. He shared his genuine passion for combat sports, having previously engaged in ju jitsu competitions and expressing interest in MMA. But now, it seems that this particular cage match may remain a mere fantasy.

I don’t know. I don’t have any kind of official update on this. I mean, as you all know, I love fighting. It’s maybe a second place pastime for me beyond building things, where building things is my number one love, fighting might be number two. So yeah, I really like doing this. I’ve done ju jitsu competitions. I would love to do an MMA competition at some point. I wasn’t expecting this to be the one that I did. I’m not sure if it’s going to come together, but I just think that it’s a great sport overall.

The initial banter between the tech giants began when Meta launched Threads, a Twitter-like app that saw significant success. Musk, who owns Twitter, responded with mocking tweets, igniting the idea of a fight. While Zuckerberg’s interest in martial arts is legitimate, the chances of the two billionaires stepping into the octagon seemed slim.

The possibility of the fight excited many, but with its potential demise, the tech world may lose a fascinating chapter. Nonetheless, the business battle between Zuckerberg’s Meta and Musk’s Twitter (rebranded as “X”) continues to rage on, with Threads gaining immense popularity despite recent stagnation in user growth.

Threads unravels

As the saga unfolded, Zuckerberg took Musk’s jabs in stride, indicating he wasn’t overly concerned. Threads, however, started losing some users after an initial surge, but Zuckerberg remained optimistic, attributing the drop to normal fluctuations and pledging to improve the app with new features like a desktop version and enhanced search capabilities.

Though the cage match dream seems to be fading away, the rivalry between the tech giants persists, keeping the industry on its toes. Whether or not the fight of the century ever takes place, one can find solace in the alternate realities where it might exist. As technology and competition evolve, new chapters are sure to unfold, making the tech world ever more intriguing.

Florida’s Attorney General to replace Marco Rubio following his expected confirmation as Secretary of State

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Thursday his decision to appoint state Attorney General Ashley Moody to the U.S. Senate, pending Senator Marco Rubio’s expected confirmation as President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of State. Rubio, a two-term senator, is widely anticipated to step down after Trump’s inauguration, making way for Moody’s appointment.

Moody, who has served as Florida’s attorney general since 2019, has been a key political ally of DeSantis, often collaborating on high-profile legal challenges and conservative policy initiatives.

Her alignment with DeSantis on issues such as law enforcement support, immigration enforcement, and state autonomy has solidified her as a prominent figure in Florida’s political landscape.

DeSantis praised Moody’s qualifications and commitment to public service, stating she would bring a “principled, conservative voice” to Washington, D.C. Moody’s appointment would mark a continuation of the state’s GOP leadership in the Senate, reinforcing the Republican majority ahead of Trump’s administration taking office.

Rubio’s departure comes as Trump assembles a Cabinet filled with loyalists and prominent conservatives. His selection as Secretary of State underscores Trump’s focus on experienced political figures in key diplomatic roles.

Moody’s appointment to the Senate, if confirmed, would likely shape legislative debates on issues ranging from judicial reform to national security.
