Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg: The cage match
Prior to the frenzy of Threads memes, speculation circulated about a potential clash between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaires behind Twitter and Meta, respectively. On June 21, Musk responded to a tweet with an amusing statement: “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.” Zuckerberg, not one to shy away from such banter, shared a screenshot of Musk’s tweet, playfully replying, “send me location.”
Musk then cheekily suggested “Vegas Octagon” as the venue, teasingly describing his hypothetical move, “The Walrus,” where he playfully claims to immobilize his opponent. Even Lex Fridman, a Russian American computer scientist, and podcaster, got in on the action by joking about conducting training sessions with the two tech moguls.
The launch of Meta’s Threads app has sparked a wave of excitement among netizens globally. As users flocked to sign up for the new microblogging platform, Twitter became the playground for an array of memes capturing the humor and comparisons between Threads and other social media platforms.
The lighthearted banter between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg only added to the online buzz surrounding this highly anticipated rivalry. With the ongoing innovation in the social media landscape, it’s evident that users will continue to find creative ways to engage and express themselves, making the internet an entertaining and dynamic space.
The most recent development of this sequence of banter has been Elon Musk calling Zuckerberg a “cuck” in a tweet, if you wish to check out. Although the incident didn’t cause so much of a backlash or outrage by now, it still seems to be a rather significant comeback for the banter between the two millionaires, most likely to be followed by new memes in addition to the Threads memes.
