The controversy involving these two billionaire entrepreneurs escalated after Mark Zuckerberg launched a new social media app last month to take on Elon Musk's Twitter.
It began when Elon Musk on June 20 proposed a "cage match" with Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg then responded by posting a screenshot Musk's tweet with the caption "send me location."
"I love this sport and will continue competing with people who train no matter what happens here," Mark Zuckerberg said on Sunday.
