Musk Mocks "Weakling," Zuckerberg Reveals 'Abs'... SNS War of Nerves Continues
Tension Between Two SNS CEOs Over 'Seuredeu' Launch
Zuckerberg 'Shirtless' with UFC Champion
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has sparked attention by revealing a photo of his abs amid a war of nerves with Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, over the launch of the new social networking service (SNS) 'Threads,' with both hinting at a 'fight match.'
On the 12th, Zuckerberg posted a photo on his Instagram showing him training with champions from the American MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) organization UFC. The photo captured him at the training gym alongside UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya and Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski.

The photo posted that day appears to be a response to Musk's recent taunt calling him a 'weakling.' Earlier, Musk expressed frustration on Twitter as Meta's 'Threads' surpassed 100 million users, causing a stir.
On the 10th, Musk tweeted, "Zuck is a Cuck (a US slang term for a man lacking masculinity)," and provocatively suggested, "I literally propose a penis length contest."
Prior to this, the two had already hinted at a potential fight match. On the 22nd of last month, when a Twitter user asked Musk if 'Threads' would become a rival to Twitter, Musk mocked, saying, "I'm scared to death."
Another user warned, "Zuckerberg does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, be careful," to which Musk replied, "I'm ready to fight." Zuckerberg responded, "Send me your location," and Musk answered, "Las Vegas Octagon (MMA arena)."
Scientist and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lex Fridman has shared videos of Zuckerberg training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and photos of Musk training in the same martial art.
Following this, reports emerged that Dana White, UFC president, is mediating behind the scenes to arrange a real fight between the two.
Speculation about the outcome of the fight is rife, with discussions about their ages and physiques. Musk, who is relatively older at 51, stands tall at 190 cm. In contrast, 39-year-old Zuckerberg is in the early 170 cm range.
