The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on?

[Sithara007]

I didn’t think for a second that Threads would be a replacement for Twitter. Twitter is already an established platform dominating the social media space. It would take almost a miracle for a completely new platform to healthily rival Twitter. Obviously, people were interested in Threads mostly cause it was new and majorly unknown. After all the hype about Threads has gone, and the dust settled, people are now back to Twitter(X) like they never left.
A cage fight is never going to happen.

Well.. I went through media articles at the time of the official launch of Threads, and many of them were predicting that it would replace Twitter completely. There was so much hype, and Threads was being projected as the next big thing. Unfortunately, Zuckerberg's product lacked quality to compete with Twitter and the left-wing user base is not actually well suited for the micro-blogging domain. Zuckerberg was thinking about converting a part of the Instagram userbase to Threads users. But this was illogical and quite rightly the attempt ended up in failure.

What they are saying was just a pure nonsense because they just made it look like they were neighbors when in-fact they aren't, just a neighboring state but not literally neighbor that you could just knock from your home within a matter of minutes. And if I'm not mistaken, Elon Musk do actually have a home that is situated in Texas but he doesn't live in it because he only sleeps in SpaceX headquarters and made himself a little room there to sleep for a few hours before working again.

So what if he had knocked on Marks door?Then what?

People are really just putting too much attention with these kind of words but we cant really deny that even though these things turns out to be nonsense but surprisingly the public does really love
on how things been going. Even it is really just that clear that this one is indirectly trying out to showcase their company and some developments or whatsoever which they did make out
that having some mix of little trolling. They are really just that make a fun of the community.  

Well, I guess we cannot really blame the public if some of them are loving the idea because if this will happen, it will be the first time where two billionaires will have a physical fight in front of the public and not behind closed doors despite the fact that they don't have any valid reasons in making the fight into reality.

BTW, there is already confirmation that Elon Musk has won the real battle against Mark Zuckerberg. Check this:

There was so much hype related to Threads, immediately after its launch on 5th July 2023. So many people were predicting the demise of Twitter and claiming that Threads was going to replace it. But similar to so many other copycat ventures from Zuckerberg, this one also failed miserably. And this time, Threads flopped despite the entire left-wing establishment rallying in its support. I am sure that Elon will be boosted by his success in micro-blogging domain. A win in cage fight would be an added sweetener.

agreed with this one, cage fight is never gonna happen when these billionaires spent millions literally for their security.
moreover thread right now is heavily abandoned despite the fact that it was gaining fame before. I've seen many accounts from some big companies aren't that active.
I guess people just gonna choose the more well established and already finished ecosystem before even investing that much commitment towards new platform like thread.
right now I guess these feud has reached its peak.

I'm personally betting on the bunch of products them both sell, as the fight we are talking about here is no more than a marketing strategy to boost their popularity and have people talking about both "influencers" and, indirectly, their many brands.

Now, talking about the fight itself, I've always thought that Zucky is not the tyoe of guy who has physical stamina, and although Elon wasn't an Adonis either, I think that he has more chances to win. Both will be fit and trained for the fight, but I see Musk stronger.

[TopTort777]

We are close to 30 pages of discussion of a fight that imho never going to happen Does Mark or Elon talk about their potential fight or they have let this story go? Elon seems to be busy as usual, and Mark does his daily routine as usually. They wont even have an exhibition fight. I bet they gonna have sort of a fun debates, throw some funny trash talk and call this a gentleman fight, which will end with a draw.

Don't know which marketing strategy would that be. Mark is acting like an adult and as a real people practising BJJ and he wants to do it by the book, as this is not about him, but the sport. Not overstepping any limits that are in there for safety reasons, and not to make this some sort of show wrestling event, but a real legit fight.

And in the opposite end Musk is acting like a insecure kid who knows nothing about the real world and now he is trying to bully Mark in twitter, backfiring horribly. I see no positive outcome for Elon in this. And people watching this get only shared sense of shame.

This fight will never happen and opposite to what Elon said, Italian government never even agreed on use of the Colosseum. So if there's a bet that if this fights happen within some time limit or not, i would bet not on any time frame.

It is funny. Out there in the world there are thousands perhaps millions of fights between regular people which may have more meaning that two rich men punching one another on the face because their fans told them so. It is like living in the clown world some many on the internet refer to in an ironic way.

I can also imagine the frustration of some professional boxers and fighters with have trained their whole adult life to.get a small fraction of the attention these two technological businessmen are getting on the internet. Life can be weird and unfair sometimes.

If this fight actually get planned, then it will become a marketing phenomenon by its own and probably even drawn the attention of serious sponsorships.

Definitely. These two are going to find ways to make money out of it before they could even say yes to fighting each other. Talking about the date of the fight is another story and a discussion about where they would fight is another story.

This thread will go more than a hundred pages yet we couldn't even see a proper talk about a real fight but the media from all corners of the globe are already talking about it.
They make fun of the peasants, not the peasant making fun of them.

It's plain and simple. These two just want to stay in the media limelight and took the public for a ride. If there is ever going to be a fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, then it is going to take place in virtual space. As far as a real (physical) fight is concerned, I don't think that either of these two have the balls to go for it. Why should some of the richest men in the world risk injury, just for the sake of satisfying their ego? After 1-2 months, everyone will forget that there was even a suggestion regarding this and media coverage will also vanish.

I do not know what the exact chronology is to Elon Musk and Mark, is it only because of the simple tweet on his social media account and reply to each other making events ending to do physical matches, or whether they do this planning behind him to get the attention of the world's net citizens, This is spread to remote villages and many people talk about it.

If seen from people, in my opinion they have guts, because they have their respective martial arts skills, of course like humans who have the ability and feel challenged will definitely do it, especially with the level of life and wealth that is not much different.
Maybe if I challenge one of them, they will not respond because I am nobody and nothing is must in the dispute.

The media first raised this speculation and was welcomed by the fans of the two famous entrepreneurs. I also think this will not happen and if it is implemented properly, I don't know what the intent and purpose are and any results will not have an impact on either of them or on the business they are building because this has nothing to do with it at all, unless they make certain agreements such as closing or give the social media platform that they are continuing to develop for the losers and so on, but I'm sure they won't be willing to do things like that because the investment made to build their social media platform is very large and affects many people's lives

[FanEagle]

Now that Elon knows he can't beat Mark in a fight, the next up is "threads is not as good as twitter!!" as a response to it? I mean come on, where is the fight, I don't care about twitter or threads, I care about the fight, is Elon too chicken to have the fight on live TV just like any other fighter in the world?

Why is he trying to run around and find other alternatives and not just straight up goes against Mark? What's the point of having a big debate over this when you are too chicken to actually fight? Lets face it, Elon is just all talk and no action type of guy, he can't fight Mark, he can't fight even his own shadow, he was never capable of doing it and now he is trying to make up stuff and avoid it as much as he can.

I wouldn't be surprised if boxers and fighters all over the world will release some statements to somehow condemn the fight between Zuckerberg and Musk because they have every right to do it as it wasn't easy for them to achieve what they have and then there are this billionaires who can just make it happen with just one snap of their fingers.
On the other hand, they should also understand by now that life is truly unfair and that is the reality we're living in, it's either digest it or fight with that same right but in the end, you will not get to where you want because just as mentioned, life is unfair.

Well, whether Elon musk wont be able to beat Mark or not, my personal truth is that, I don't wanna see this fight, the idea was and is crazy in the first place, whoever came up with this idea, I would with all due respect say is senseless, whether it be musk or mark, there should never be any idea of this two billionaires coming together to fight, so for me, if Elon decides to reject the fight, I personally will not see him as a weaklene, but as a hero who stood for what he believed in, if I was Elon, I wouldn't have accepted any fight from anyone, not to talk of accepting a fight from mark, its so unprofessional, companies that have copyright issues with another company should go to court and have the issue resolved in the most possible and amicable way, not engage themselves in a fight, what happens to the party that loses? this could lead to inner resentments, which could lead to becoming a silent enemy to the winning party, most especially, if the loser feels he or she is cheated on, we have enough enemies already, lets make friends not enemies.

None of them are chicken, they are grown up men and see no real reason to go out and smash each other faces like savages. Both of them realize that winning or loosing wont change anything or give them anything. They are not clowns to have a fight just to make others happy. Imho fighting is for fighters, business men should do business. Everything should do the thing they are good at.

This situation can be interpreted in different ways. Maybe Musk initially mocks Zuckerberg knowing his passion for martial arts (which, by the way, in my opinion is a really strange hobby for a businessman). Maybe you are making too serious conclusions based on facts that seem important to you, but for Musk they are just nonsense. And I doubt that Musk cares about anyone's opinion about his courage/cowardice, etc.

It is very unlikely some boxers and boxing organizations will speak up against the publicity and attention this unconfirmed fight is getting. Because technically there is nothing illegal or controversial enough going on which would make sense to condemn, at least not in the eyes of the average person on the internet.

If they officially condemned this situation, they may end up being perceived as jealous or inflexible to the whole situation, it is simply bad PR. Actually, if they were intelligent enough, they should try to approach both Mark and Elon and try to organize the event with them, hosting previous fights of regular professional fighters before the big fight at the end which would be Elon vs Mark. That way many unknown fighters would take some of the attention for their own and push their careers forward.

Who knows, it may become the introduction into fighting for a completely new generation of fans.

If there are any boxers approaching the two billionaires, it will more likely be about representing them in a fight which the 2 billionaires will be happy to host and make money out of these boxers. And what is at stake is probably what the billionaires are going to discuss.

Assuming the two really agreed to fight, I don't see a point for boxers opposing the fight to happen when we have seen influencers and onlyfans girls fighting. But the physicians of Zucker and Elon will probably find an excuse for both not to fight just like Elon undergoing surgery.

This fight is just an exhibition match which means that it has no value for professional records. Anyone can fight on ring or octagon by just paying the fee. Influencer like Jake Paul and others manage to fight pro on an exhibition match while the two billionaires is just fighting for each other without representing any sports.

It’s like a fight to settle disagreement. It’s absurd to make a negative opinion about this match just because you are professional on that specific sports because sports is for everyone. Only the professional records should be their concern which is not the case on this fight.

You make good points about it not being a professional fight and instead a personal beef, which I think fighters don’t mind seeing.  They probably love it. Also, given the low fighter pay and Musk/Zuckerberg being billionaires, fighters aren’t lining up to condemn this fight, they’re lining up to try and get paid for their expertise as coaches or training partners.
