However, Elom Musk's fans believe Zuckerberg needed to work out more.
The current buzz stems from Zuckerberg's February statement about 'Threads' with "increased authenticity" and "security across services" — both remarks on Twitter Blue.
As far as training is concerned, Zuckerberg is an amateur mixed martial arts fighter and trained in jiu-jitsu. Fifty-one-year-old Musk, meanwhile, is a self-proclaimed street fighter and a trainer.
Musk initiated the "cage match" challenge to Zuckerberg. The Meta boss responded, "Send Me Location," to the challenge.
