How serious are Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg about a proposed fight inside a cage? According to UFC president Dana White , “both guys are absolutely dead serious.” In an interview with TMZ on Thursday, White said he “probably spent an hour-and-a-half on the phone” with both of the world’s most high-profile tech billionaires and found out that neither of them was kidding about a proposed cage match stemming from a social media spat. “They both said, ‘Yeah, we’ll do it.’ They both want to do it,” White said. “Mark Zuckerberg hit me up first and said, ‘Is (Elon) serious?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know, let me ask him.’ I asked him, and he said, ‘Yeah, I’m dead serious.’” How it started The initial exchange – between the CEO of Twitter and the founder and CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta – came on the heels of Musk tweeting, “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options.” When a Twitter user jokingly cautioned Musk to watch what he says given Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu skills, Musk said, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.” That was all Zuckerberg needed to see as he responded in an Instagram story with the Khabib Nurmagomedov-inspired message of “send me location.” “Vegas Octagon” Musk responded, adding: “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’ where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing.” White all in on charity event An actual fight between Musk and Zuckerberg seems unfathomable, but White said he’s “taking it very serious” after speaking with both men. White is willing to build an entire card with “some really fun fights,” with Musk vs. Zuckerberg as the pay-per-view headliner
