Mark Zuckerberg Responds to Elon Musk's Emergency Call

Silicon Valley is being shaken by an arms race in artificial intelligence. 

All of Big Tech is scrambling to develop AI tools, so as not to miss the technological revolution prompted by the November unveiling of the ChatGPT conversational chatbot. 

Startups are also in the race, thanks to the millions of dollars that venture capital firms are injecting into every company working in the sector. 

But despite the great economic potential AI represents, at the moment it will have to cede the stage to a rare event: an unprecedented physical fight between two of the most famous and controversial Silicon Valley personalities. 

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will face off in a cage match to resolve their differences -- or at least that's what their latest social-media exchanges suggest.

Musk Proposed Cage Fight With Zuckerberg 

It was Musk, CEO of electric-vehicle leader Tesla  (TSLA) - Get Free Report and owner of the Twitter microblogging platform, who proposed this face-off. Musk made the challenge when he learned on Twitter that Zuckerberg was soon to launch a rival to Twitter via Meta Platforms,  (META) - Get Free Report which Zuckerberg leads. 

Musk began by warning that this prospect was bad for consumers, since Zuckerberg would have control of the social-media landscape. 

He seemed to be saying that Zuckerberg might end up controlling all social-media platforms. Centralizing virtual interactions is dangerous because it will give his rival too much power, the Tesla CEO seems to suggest.

"I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options," the billionaire blasted out. "At least it will be 'sane'. Was worried there for a moment," he added with a laughing emoji.

It was then that a Twitter user asked him to be careful because Zuckerberg practiced jiu-jitsu. Musk used this remark to make an offer to Zuckerberg to resolve their differences in a mixed-martial-arts-style fight.

"Better be careful @elonmusk I heard he does the jiu jitsu now," the user said.

"I’m up for a cage match if he is lol," Musk responded.

Musk Proposes the Site: 'Vegas Octagon'

Whether the billionaire was joking is difficult to know -- but what is certain is that Zuckerberg took it seriously. The Meta CEO responded on Instagram, one of the sites within Meta Platforms.

The message is summed up in three words: "Send Me Location," Zuckerberg posted.

Musk just answered.

"If this is for real, I will do it
