Being the CEO of a billion-dollar company always seemed to me like the most intense, difficult, and toughest job there is. But maybe I'm seeing it wrong, because apparently those CEOs have more than enough time for other hobbies. Like cage fighting with each other. Uh, what? Really: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are going into the cage together. To fight. HAHA.

The invitation (or rather: challenge) came from Elon Musk on Twitter, in which he said he would be willing to do a cage fight ‘if he wants to as well’. Mark Zuckerberg responded in his Instagram story with the words: ‘Send me the location.’

First of all, I also find it really characteristic that both CEOs only communicate with each other via the platforms they themselves own: Elon sends a tweet, Mark Zuckerberg posts a story. No way they are posting messages on each other's social media platform.

Well, Elon Musk came up with the location (the Octagon in Vegas) and I hope he has already started training, because I am putting one hundred percent of my money on Zuckerberg as the winner. Not only because he is younger (Zuckerberg is 39 and Musk is 51), but mainly because he is an MMA fighter in his free time and has already won quite a few Jiujitsu tournaments. No, you don't want to mess with Zuckerberg. This is definitely going to be a downfall for Musk, but that's a bit in line with his recent performances, right? His takeover of Twitter hasn't exactly turned out to be a success story either.

As we speak, the fight is being arranged by Dana White from UFC, who is absolutely thrilled. ‘This could be the biggest fight in world history, bigger than anything that has been done before. It would break all pay-per-view records.’ He also mentioned that he plans to charge a hundred dollars to watch the fight live on TV.

That would mean that this fight would break the current record of McGregor vs. Mayweather, which earned over 600 million. Honestly: I would watch too. Facebook vs. Tesla, let’s goooo.

I’m up for a cage match if he is lol
