In ancient times, gladiators—the lowest caste of Roman society, often men with little to no status—would fight in arenas for the amusement of the patrician class.
2,000 years later, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and X owner Elon Musk have spent much of this year considering an inversion of this concept. The two social media barons—both of whom have reportedly trained in martial arts—have publicly bandied about fighting each other, with UFC president Dana White going so far as to propose a potential match in the Colosseum.
Zuckerberg, however, implied Sunday on Threads that the idea was dead in the water.
