In a separate post earlier, Musk CEO said, "I am lifting weights all day while preparing for the fight," and added, "(I) brought (weights) to work because I have no time to exercise separately." When asked what the duel was for, he replied, "This is a civilized form of war. Men love war."

Musk CEO, the major shareholder of X, and Zuckerberg CEO, who launched the 'Twitter rival' Threads last month, have been exchanging challenges since June, mentioning that they would have a so-called 'real fight' at a Las Vegas mixed martial arts arena.

This started when a Twitter user asked Musk CEO, "Will Meta's new social media Threads become a rival to Twitter?" to which Musk CEO mocked, "I'm scared to death." Another user said, "I heard he (Zuckerberg CEO) does jiu-jitsu, so be careful," and Musk CEO responded, "I am ready to fight." Afterwards, Zuckerberg CEO captured Musk CEO's tweet and uploaded it on his Instagram with the phrase "Send location," and Musk CEO immediately replied, "Las Vegas Octagon."

Following this, reports flooded in that a real fight between the two CEOs was being discussed, arranged by UFC President Dana White. The AP News reported, "It appears the two tech billionaires have agreed to the fight," adding, "Whether they will actually step into the ring in Las Vegas is still unknown, but their duel is attracting attention even if it is just a joke."

Online, regardless of whether the fight happens, speculation about who would win is pouring in. In terms of physique, Zuckerberg CEO is 171 cm tall, while Musk CEO is 188 cm tall. However, since Zuckerberg CEO is 39 years old and Musk CEO is 51, it is expected that Zuckerberg CEO may have an advantage in stamina. Zuckerberg CEO is known as a jiu-jitsu enthusiast and previously posted on his Instagram, "I completed a 3.2 km run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 squats within 40 minutes while wearing a 10 kg bulletproof vest." On the other hand, Musk CEO has mentioned that he rarely exercises. He does weight training but said, "I have no time to work out, so I just go to work."
