A billionaire brawl in Vegas, baby!
Will there be a billionaire brawl in Vegas? Maybe. I read about this story this morning when it was 20 minutes old and briefly discussed it on my podcast. I also suggested that Joe Rogan would officiate.
We are talking about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg perhaps getting into a cage to fight one another at the Vegas Octagon. Really? More than likely, no.
But it made for fun banter over on Twitter. Why did it start? Elon sent out a tweet suggesting he and Mark have a cage fight. But why? Maybe he was smoking a doobie, and it entered Musk’s mind, and then he immediately tweeted it.
And, like with every other tweet Elon sends out, the crowd went wild.
Big Tech billionaires @ElonMusk and Mark Zuckerberg appear to have agreed to brawl each other in a cage fight.
The brawl gained traction after Musk tweeted in response to a claim that Zuckerberg's Meta might be developing a competitor to Musk's Twitter.https://t.co/38l1AzBKwK

No one else seems to know why Elon tweeted the challenge, either. I learned about the story at 0530 this morning while doing my podcast.
Of course, they are not going to do it. But would it be that awesome if they did? I’m not sure how I would feel about it if they did. What would it say about our society? Most folks would Eat. It. Up.

- Elon is older than Mark.
- Mark has been training in this sport, and that’s all I have. There is no number 3.

That wouldn’t stop me from cheering for Elon, though. I don’t know if I could watch it. Typically I don’t watch this kind of sport. All that fighting, hitting, blood, punching, and brutality makes me queasy. I can barely watch it in a movie!
TMZ Sports had Dana White on to discuss the possible cage fight.
With Dana White wearing his Rumble Sports teeshirt on a YouTube video, you’d think they might have some content or news on the cage fight over there at Rumble. But I didn’t find anything.
Who Would Win?
But he thinks the two billionaires are serious about this cage fight. He claims to have spoken to both of them just last night. So who knows? It would be for charity, and I would probably watch it.
I believe Mark Zuckerberg is actively training, has been for 18 months or longer, and has even won some competitions. He seems to be in shape.
And Elon says many people don’t know this about him, but he’s been in plenty of street fights growing up in South Africa. Dana White says that Elon has some martial arts training too. It’s unclear how long ago that was, though.
When I first started writing this blog post, I was amused by the idea of a cage fight between Elon and Mark, but after watching that TMZ Sports interview with Dana White and seeing how serious he was about it, I don’t know what to think now!
What about you? Who do you put your money on?
