Zuck vs. Musk Lets You Play The Ridiculous Fight Yourself
A stripped down version of WrestleBros has been turned into Zuck vs. Musk!
Several days ago, Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk challenged the Overlord of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, to a 1-on-1 cage match via tweet, and to everyone’s surprise, Zuckerberg agreed to the fight, asking Musk for a location of the throwdown. This fight isn’t likely going to happen, though we’d pay good money to see it; that didn’t stop someone from giving people what they want—and thus, Zuck vs. Musk was born, a video game in which you can pit two billionaires against one another.
According to Kotaku, the founder of Blue Wizard and the designer of Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies—a legendary game, by the way—Jason Kapalka, has made a free-to-play, browser-based video game titled Zuck vs. Musk, which allows gamers to assume to role of Musk or Zuckerberg, and go toe-to-toe in a wrestling match.
Though hilarious, this actually isn’t an original game but rather a stripped-down version of Blue Wizard’s pre-existing wrestling game titled WrestleBros, which now features only two playable characters—the aforementioned billionaires.
As a stripped-down, comedic version of WrestleBros, Zuck vs. Musk is actually very simple to play. All the player needs to do is act as a teenager on the Skrillex YouTube page during the 2010s and keep pressing the spacebar on their keyboard.
The large, grinning heads of two tech-bros, which are actually stuck on some pretty beefed-up bodies, will move towards each other and perform a variety of contextual moves, which include smashing an opponent with a fold-up chair that has been tossed into the ring. And that’s not the best, or perhaps the worst part of the game, depending on your viewpoint.
Zuck vs. Musk also has a progression system that allows you to upgrade your fighter after winning a few matches, and there’s even a two-player mode for those who want to play with their friends and family—though it’s entirely expected if those around you start questioning yours or their life choices.
Well, it would seem that Zuck vs. Musk has all the fights that Musk’s mom won’t be able to stop. For context, right after the Twitter boss issued the challenge, his mother has been trying to prevent the fight from even happening, much to the boredom of the rest of the world.
Because we have to admit that seeing two pasty tech bros settle, their differences outside Zuck vs. Musk and inside the octagon would be hilarious, even if it’s just an exhibition match. Despite Mrs. Musk’s attempts to stop the fight from happening, UFC president Dana White stated that both tech billionaires are absolutely dead serious about the fight happening.
In addition to that, it would seem that Musk accepted an offer from UFC fighting legend Georges St-Pierre—a one-man-army UFC fighting legend with 26 winds and only two losses under his belt.
The Zuck vs. Musk game is the hilarious poke at a fight that’s the latest jab in a nearly 7-year feud between the two CEOs that sparked after a SpaceX explosion destroyed a Facebook satellite. The proposed cage fight would definitely resolve the issue using playground rules—the one left standing is usually right.
