The development comes amid a constant teaser of a potential mixed martial art (MMA) bout between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla Inc.

In June, Musk had jokingly challenged Zuckerberg to a “cage match” — a proposed contest to which the Meta CEO replied, “send me location”.

The feud between the two billionaires took a new twist a few weeks later when Zuckerberg launched Threads, a new text-based social media platform to rival Musk’s Twitter.

The launch came days after Musk announced that a temporary limit had been imposed on the number of posts users can read daily on Twitter.

In response, Twitter threatened Zuckerberg with a lawsuit over “the unlawful misappropriation” of its trade secrets.
