Key Background<\/h2>\n

Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight in 2023, as the rivalry between the two tech moguls turned heated. Musk seemingly challenged Zuckerberg to the fight in June, just before Meta introduced Threads, the company\u2019s challenger to the Musk-owned X, formerly Twitter. Musk spent the next few weeks taunting Zuckerberg<\/u> with crude jokes, but the Meta CEO reportedly took the proposed fight very seriously. Zuckerberg, an avid martial arts fan who had previously competed<\/u> in jiu jitsu tournaments, was training<\/u> with several former UFC champions, including middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. It\u2019s unclear when White began trying to negotiate a deal for a fight in the Colosseum\u2014back in June 2023, Musk suggested<\/u> the Vegas Octagon as a possible venue for the fight. Days later, he suggested \u201csome chance fight happens in Colosseum,\u201d and in August, he claimed<\/u> he spoke with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to host the fight at \u201can epic location.\u201d Despite all the bluster, the highly anticipated fight never actually materialized. By August, Zuckerberg said<\/u> he thought Musk wasn\u2019t \u201cserious\u201d about the fight and wouldn\u2019t commit to a date for the bout. <\/p>\n

Musk was worth about $246 billion at the same time, according to Forbes estimates<\/u>. The tech mogul\u2019s fortune has exploded since then, with the recent SpaceX initial public offering minting him as the first trillionaire<\/u> in human history.Forbes estimates Musk’s net worth at $1.2 trillion as of Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
