Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reacted after billionaire Elon Musk challenged him to a cage fight. Zuckerberg accepted the challenge and asked the Tesla co-founder to send him the “location”, eliciting a response from Musk.

Elon Musk had thrown a cage fight challenge at Mark Zuckerberg in a Twitter exchange with a user on June 21. “I am up for a cage match if he is lol,” he tweeted when a user said that Mark Zuckerberg does Jujutsu, a form of martial arts.

A day later, Mark Zuckerberg posted a screenshot of Elon Musk’s tweet on Instagram Stories and wrote, “Send me location”.
