The billionaires seem to be fighting again. This is after Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk called Mark Zuckerberg a cuck.
Musk proposes a contest where the two billionaires will measure their manhood to determine who has a bigger one. Some Twitter users felt that Musk was spiralling out of control.
In an earlier tweet, musk had dared the META CEO to a cage fight. Musk then replied to a tweet on the battle by Alex Heath, editor of the tech news website Verge, with "Vegas Octagon" — a reference to the Las Vegas venue where the Ultimate Fighting Championship is held.

Musk has made fun of Zuckerberg on Twitter with words like "Zuck my." Last week, Meta's chief product officer Chris Cox told colleagues at an internal all-hands meeting that the company believes creators want a "sanely run" version of Twitter, which prompted cheers. "I've always thought that Twitter should have a billion people using it," Zuckerberg recently revealed on a podcast with Lex Fridman.
The feud seems to have escalated after Meta company launched a Twitter app called Threads. The app has been doing quite well and has amassed over 100 million users in less than a week.
After the launch of threads, Twitter threatened Meta with a lawsuit — the clearest sign yet that Twitter views the software as a competitive threat.
Last week, a Twitter attorney sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who accused the company of stealing trade secrets by hiring former employees.
The letter, sent by Alex Spiro, an outside lawyer for Twitter founder Elon Musk, accused Meta of "systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property."
Musk responded to the letter reports by tweeting, "Competition is fine, cheating is not."
The letter claims that Meta hired former Twitter employees who "improperly retained Twitter documents and electronic devices" and that Meta "deliberately" incorporated these individuals in the development of Threads. Meta has denied these claims.
