So what’s the beef between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg that’s resulted in the possibility of an epic cage fight? The Verge reports that the two have a long-standing rivalry. Still, things worsened after Zuckerberg revealed his plans for his competing Twitter platform, Threads. Meta’s product primo, Chris Cox, threw some serious shade at Musk during a presentation to employees. “We’ve been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run, that they believe that they can trust and rely upon for distribution,” he said. (Oh no, he didn’t.) Adding to the indignity, Cox announced they’d already garnered interest from Oprah Winfrey and the Dalai Llama, no less.
“Thank goodness they’re so sanely run,” Musk tweeted. The platform’s founder and former CEO, Jack Dorsey, bravely jumped into the fray, proving he was firmly #TeamElon. “All your Threads are belong to us [sic],” he tweeted. Musk gave two thumbs up to his predecessor’s claim. “Yeah,” Musk added.

Zuckerberg quickly took up arms and started ruthlessly mocking his competitor by replying to Thread messages with just one word and an emoji — in typical Musk fashion, per the New York Post. Who doesn’t love the smell of billionaire bro brawl testosterone in the morning? Clearly, Musk and Zuckerberg do, as it was on.
