 "Mark Zuckerberg practices jiu-jitsu ahead of 'cage match' with Elon Musk; take a look")
Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg was seen practising ‘jiu-jitsu’, the Brazilian self-defence martial art, after confirming a thrilling challenge with Twitter owner Elon Musk. After Musk’s repeated jibes at Zuckerberg, the move is being seen as a manifestation of billionaires’ business rivalry. While the Facebook co-founder enjoys expertise in jiu-jitsu, Tesla CEO Musk has claimed that he was trained in Kyokushin karate, taekwondo, judo, and ‘jiu-jitsu briefly’ in his childhood.
On Twitter, Lex Fridman, the Russian-American computer scientist shared a highlight video of Zuckerberg and himself training in Jiu-jitsu, the martial arts. He further added that he’s looking forward to training with Elon Musk. Lex described Musk and Zuckerberg’s martial arts journey as ‘inspiring.’

What led to the ‘cage-match’?
The series of exchanges started earlier this week as Mario Nawfal, founder and CEO of International Blockchain Consulting (IBC) dropped a hint about Meta’s launch of its own text-based social media platform. He tweeted about ‘META’s decision to release a ‘Twitter rival’ called THREADS.’

The move was seen to be directed at Musk-owned microblogging site, Twitter. This led to Elon Musk trolling Zuckerberg with messages on Twitter, asserting to his fans that: “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”

To that, Mark Zuckerberg responded on his Instagram Stories with a screenshot of the message and a response: “Send me location.” The story is no longer available as photos and videos shared as stories disappear from the Instagram feed unless added as a highlight.
A report from The Verge confirmed Zuckerberg’s genuine response to Elon Musk’s cage-fight. Musk selected the “Vegas Octagon” as his desired venue.

The Tesla CEO later tweeted: “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus,’ where I just lie on top of my opponent and do nothing.”

As per a CNBC report, Zuckerberg, 39, competed in his first jiu-jitsu tournament in May last year and won a medal. He has been practicing combat sports for quite a while now. On the other hand, Musk claimed in a podcast last year that he was trained in Kyokushin karate, taekwondo, judo, and “Brazilian jiu-jitsu briefly” when he was a boy.
