Elon Musk has reignited his ongoing feud with Mark Zuckerberg with a bold challenge on the Joe Rogan podcast.
In his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk has again challenged Zuckerberg to a duel. The 52-year-old billionaire said he is willing to fight the Meta CEO “anytime, anywhere”.
To recap, interest in a potential fight between the two billionaires had recently fizzled out. Zuckerberg has responded to Musk’s hint at a fight back in June. Musk publicly accepted the fight challenge in August.
However, Zuckerberg noted that he wasn’t “holding his breath” that the fight would ever happen. Still, Italy was willing to host the event at the historic Coliseum.
“Italy actually was willing to let us use the Coliseum. So I was like, ‘Well, you can’t turn that down, you know?’” Musk said on the Joe Rogan Experience.
However, with Zuckerberg associated with the UFC and UFC CEO Dana White showing interest in promoting the fight, Musk was concerned about reducing the historical integrity of the venue.
“We don’t want to have tons of ads and UFC branding on the Coliseum because it’s a historical place,” Musk explained.

This led Zuckerberg to believe Musk was never “serious” about fighting him in the first place. Musk, on the other hand, accused Zuckerberg of pulling out of the fight.
Now, Musk has issued a new challenge to Zuckerberg. “I challenge him to a duel under any circumstances,” the Twitter owner said on the Joe Rogan Experience.

“I’m way bigger than him. This is unfair. I don’t think he should fight me,” he added. However, Rogan pointed out that size isn’t everything, especially against a martial artist like Zuckerberg.
“He’s tough as f*ck.”

Musk once again referred to his patented Walrus move, claiming he will simply lay on top of Zuckerberg to win the fight.
Musk commented, “I’m willing to fight him in a house, on a mouse, with a louse”. It will be interesting to see whether Zuckerberg will accept the duel.
