'Any place, any time, any rules': Tesla chief Elon Musk reignites 'fight' challenge with Meta's Mark Zuckerberg
Chandigarh, July 25
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again ignited buzz around a ‘fight’ between him and Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg, stating that he is ‘ready’.
In a video that has gone viral on social media on Thursday, Musk said “I will fight Zuckerberg; any place, any time, any rules”.
Musk made this statement while talking to mediapersons before attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress.

It was, however, surprising how Musk transitioned quickly from praising Zuckerberg for Meta’s latest AI model Llama 3.1 to express readiness to fight him.
The unexpected applause from Musk came on former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy post on X, congratulating Meta on AI model’s release.
It is impressive and Zuck does deserve credit for open-sourcing

Meanwhile, Musk’s video triggered a sea of reactions with one user commenting, “SET IT UP ELON!”
“So we’re back on this again huh. Ok”, reacted another user on X.
The two tech moguls have a chequered past as Musk, last year, tweeted that he would be “up for a cage match” with Zuckerberg.
He had also said in a social media post that his fight with Meta CEO would be live-streamed on X.
They have been egging each other into a mixed martial arts cage match in Las Vegas since June last year.
