The internet went wild in June when billionaire Elon Musk challenged Mark Zuckerberg for a “cage fight”. Both entrepreneurs are highly renowned in the technology field.
On one side is Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, which is now called “X”; on the other side of the ring, Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the company that controls the social networks Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.

Both billionaires have been involved in conflicts and exchanges of barbs for many years, but only this year a real war was declared: the ring is waiting for the battle!
The origin of friction goes back to 2016, according to The Wall Street Journal, when the SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, was hired by Facebook to launch a satellite to the space.
The purpose of this project was to provide internet access in isolated regions of sub-Saharan Africa, which did not work out.
During an evaluation of standard procedures, an unexpected event occurred on the ground that culminated in the explosion of the rocket and the satellite.
That incident turned out to be a significant setback for Zuckerberg's ambitions. At the time, Meta's CEO expressed his disappointment with what happened, lamenting SpaceX's failed launch.
After that year, a disagreement arose among businesspeople over Artificial Intelligence (AI), with Musk issuing a warning about the technology's potential dangers to humanity.
That episode highlighted a sticking point between the two, reflecting differing opinions about the nature and risks associated with AI.
The most recent case took place in June of this year, when the launch of the social network was announced. Threads, a competing platform of Twitter, recently introduced in the range of social networks of Goal.
What was already unfriendly among billionaires reached new heights of tension, with Meta's new product a catalyst for conflict.
Although initially it may have sounded like a mere joke, the issue surprisingly surfaced last Sunday, the 6th, when Elon Musk made a public reminder about the combat.
Elon Musk used his Twitter account to announce that the platform itself was ready to broadcast the clash between the two entrepreneurs in real time.
Last Sunday morning, the owner of Twitter announced: “The Zuck x Musk battle will be broadcast live on X”, referring to the new name of the social network.
He further added that all proceeds raised from the audience will be donated to charities. For now, we are waiting for the “fight” of the billionaires!
