Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and now Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, are gearing up for a potentially epic showdown in the tech world. Following Elon Musk's challenge to Zuckerberg for a cage fight, Chesky has thrown his hat into the ring, albeit with a different twist. In an interview with Bloomberg's Dave Lee, Chesky expressed his willingness to take on any tech leader, including Elon Musk, in a bench press challenge, stating, "Cage matching seems to cross a line that I don't need to cross." With three industry giants vying for attention, the tech world is bracing itself for a clash of titans.The rivalry between Elon Musk and Zuckerberg has been escalating recently, with Elon Musk criticizing Meta's rumored plans to launch a Twitter competitor, claiming it would leave people with no alternative but to be "exclusively under Zuck's thumb." In response, Zuckerberg swiftly posted on Instagram, signaling his readiness for the battle by saying, "Send Me Location."
Chesky finds amusement in the idea of physical battles among tech billionaires and commented on the situation, stating, "I've been waiting for these physical battles in tech. It's just so funny." While Zuckerberg has been honing his physique through jiu-jitsu and even winning tournaments, Chesky sees the lighter side of the situation.
Interestingly, the topic of physical fitness in the tech industry has gained attention recently, with former CNN CEO Christ Licht discussing his weight-loss journey and taking a jab at his predecessor Jeff Zucker's inability to achieve similar results.
As the anticipation builds for these potential clashes, the tech world eagerly awaits further developments. Insider reached out to Airbnb for comment, but no immediate response was received at the time, given the request was made outside regular working hours. It's worth noting that Axel Springer, Insider Inc.'s parent company, is an investor in Airbnb, adding another layer to the unfolding drama.
