CEO Today - July 2023 Edition

In the world of technology, titans and adversaries Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are no strangers to competition. Whether it’s accumulating wealth or gaining the most followers, their battle of prowess is relentless. Their rivalry took an unusual twist last week when the pair agreed to a physical showdown. Musk, the owner of Twitter, instigated the encounter by proposing a “cage match” with Zuckerberg, who accepted willingly. This unexpected development came after Zuckerberg, the owner of Meta, suggested launching a new social media platform to compete with Twitter. The potential face-off, set to occur in a mixed martial arts octagon cage in Las Vegas, will involve two of the world’s wealthiest men. The bout could be organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a renowned American mixed martial arts promotion company. Dana White, the president of UFC, mentioned the event’s potential to become the most profitable ever. “This could set a historical record as the most significant fight... It would shatter all existing payper-view records,” he stated. He suggested a $100 pay-per-view fee for the Musk-Zuckerberg match. As for who might come out on top, it’s still up in the air. Zuckerberg, a trained martial artist who recently secured a gold medal in his inaugural jiujitsu tournament, stands as a strong contender. Meanwhile, Musk brought some levity to the situation by tweeting about his strategic approach. He quipped: “I have this unique move named ‘The Walrus’, where I simply lie on my adversary and do nothing.” Photo: Wikicommons - Duncan.Hull
