Men love war.<\/p>\n<p>The uproar began when Musk said in a post dated June 20 that he was &#8220;ready for a cage match&#8221; with Zuckerberg, who trained in jiu-jitsu, after disagreements recently arose between the two over &#8220;Threads&#8221;, which was launched by Meta to be a competitor to the X platform.<\/p>\n<p>Musk accused Zuckerberg at the time of plagiarism, and said that the conflict between them had become personal, hinting at a personal fight.
