Andrew Tate offers to train Musk to fight Zuckerberg in cage fight

Zuck V Musk: It’s ON! Tech titans joust online as Mark Zuckerberg tells Elon ‘send me the location’ after being challenged to a CAGE FIGHT in Vegas – and Andrew Tate offers to train them

• Twitter owner Elon Musk has challenged Facebook’s founder to a ‘cage match’
• Late on Wednesday, Musk suggested the Vegas Octagon as the TBC location 

Andrew Tate has backed Elon Musk in battle of the social media behemoths, offering to train Twitter’s controversial owner as he limbers up for a ‘cage match’ with Facebook opposite, Mark Zuckerberg.

The influencer and former kickboxing champion, who was this week charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group, shared his grievances with Facebook’s parent company on Twitter earlier today.

He wrote: ‘Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines. But now we can restore honour with a strike at the enemy clans leader. I will train you @elonmusk. You will not lose.’

Musk, 51, offered to go head-to-head with Brazilian jiu-jitsu white belt Zuckerberg in a Twitter thread on Wednesday about a suspected new Facebook project, pegged as a direct ‘response to Twitter’.

When Zuckerberg responded via Meta’s Instagram asking for a location, Musk appeared to double down, suggesting the Vegas Octagon.

Zuckerberg replied on his Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of Musk’s challenge, writing: ‘Send me location.’ The Meta CEO recently placed a jiu-jitsu tournament in May 

Andrew Tate had been banned from Twitter since 2017 before Elon Musk took over the site in October last year and reinstated his account, along with those of Jordan Peterson, The Babylon Bee, Kanye West and Donald Trump.

Lasting a little over a month, the former kickboxer was ridiculed for taking aim at Greta Thunberg on Twitter late last year, and banned from Instagram, Facebook and TIkTok for ‘hate speech’.

He was then arrested in Romania, accused of crimes including human trafficking and rape.

Musk meanwhile polled Twitter users on whether he should step down from the top role. 

57.5% of 17 million users said yes and Musk said he would resign as CEO when he found someone to take over.

He finally announced NBCUniversal exec Linda Yaccarino would oversee CEO responsibilities in May 2023, but has maintained an active role in the running of the site, and continues to engage with fans through his public Twitter profile.

The sudden escalation came under a post about Zuckerberg’s newest suspected project, which will reportedly be called Threads and rival Twitter.

‘I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options. At least it will be “sane.” Was worried there for a moment,’ Musk commented.

After another user reminded the Tesla CEO that the Facebook founder, 39, ‘does jiu-jitsu now,’ Musk brushed it off. ‘I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,’ he replied. 

Zuckerberg replied on his Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of Musk’s challenge, writing: ‘Send me location.’  

Musk has trained in Kyokushin karate, taekwondo, judo and ‘Brazilian jiu-jitsu briefly’ throughout his life, he revealed on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and he’s shared a photo of himself fighting a sumo wrestler in the past. 

However, Musk might not find the match to be as easy as he thinks as the Meta CEO, who recently placed in a jiu-jitsu tournament in May. 

‘Maybe to some degree, your ability to keep doing interesting things is your willingness to be embarrassed again and go back to step one and start as a beginner, and get your ass kicked,’ Zuckerberg said on a podcast earlier this year. 

Earlier this month, Zuckerberg bashed a New York Times report that he was knocked out during a Jiu-Jitsu fight after a referee ended the bout early and gave the win to an opponent.

A clip of him wrestling on the floor and trying to break free from an opponent who pinned him down on the mat went viral.

They struggled for more than a minute before Zuckerberg was locked in a submission but the referee called the match and gave the win to his opponent.

And the official said he stopped the fight because he heard the tech CEO snoring and thought he had passed out during the chokehold.

But Zuckerberg and his coach Dave Camarillo told the publication he had not lost consciousness and the referee mistook his grunting for snoring.

‘That never happened,’ Zuckerberg wrote in an email.

Meta Chief Product Officer Chris Cox commented to the company’s upcoming text-based app, referring to it as ‘our response to Twitter,’ the Verge reported earlier this month. 

The app will reportedly has a host of celebrities joining it, including Oprah and Dalai Lama. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Meta for comment. 

Last year, Musk challenged Vladimir Putin to ‘single combat.’ 

‘I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat,’ Musk tweeted in March 2022, typing Putin’s name in Russian.

‘Stakes are Ukraine,’ he added, writing the country’s name in Ukrainian.

The interaction began after Musk commented about the Meta’s reported in-development app, saying: ‘I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options’

Before winning his tournament, Zuckerberg admitted he had to ‘get your ass kicked’ while learning the fighting style 

Musk capped off his challenge with a direct reference to the Kremlin.

‘Do you agree to this fight?’ he wrote at the time, tagging the Kremlin’s official Twitter account.

The South African-born billionaire, who has been known for making outlandish comments on Twitter in the past, was biting off more than he can handle in challenging the former head of the KGB.

The Russian president is a judo blackbelt and even co-authored a book about the sport, titled ‘Judo: History, Theory, Practice.’

Putin, 69, was made honorary president of the International Judo Federation in 2008 but has been suspended from the role over his war on Ukraine.
