The chain of events started on Tuesday when Musk reacted to a tweet mentioning the rumors that Facebook may be working on a Twitter rival. I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be completely at Zuck’s mercy with no other options, Musk quipped in a hilarious tweet. It will at least be’sane.’ Was concerned there for a second,” along with a laughing-crying emoji.
The conversation seemed to be amusing at first, but things took a new turn when Mark Zuckerberg shared a screenshot of Elon Musk’s tweet to his Instagram account with the words “send me location.” The problem appeared to worsen with Zuckerberg’s action. Then, on Wednesday night, a Twitter user posted a screenshot of Zuckerberg’s Instagram post. In response, Musk said, “If this is for real, I will do it.”
This is not the first instance of Musk calling a renowned personality for physical confrontation. Earlier in March, Tesla CEO challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin for single combat after Ukraine Invasion.

“Mark is way more in shape and has done a lot of matches already. But give Elon a year to prepare…and I’d still give mark the upper hand. But I’d watch.” another user tweeted.
