Have you ever dreamt of seeing tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg settle their differences in an epic wrestling match? While the real-life bout remains uncertain, a game studio has captured the imagination of fans by creating an online game that allows you to take control of these iconic figures and throw them into a ring to duke it out.
Introducing “Zuck vs Musk: Techbro beatdown,” a 2D wrestling-style brawler developed by Canada’s Blue Wizard Studio. Led by Jason Kapalka, the creative mind behind the immensely popular puzzle game Bejeweled, the studio has now ventured into the world of intense digital wrestling. Utilizing the same game mechanics as their previous success, Wrestle Bros, Blue Wizard Studio presents a thrilling experience that lets you embody either Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk and unleash a barrage of wrestling moves upon your opponent.
The game’s premise is straightforward: punch, body slam, and elbow drop your adversary (whether it’s Musk or Zuckerberg) using the directional keys or the spacebar. As their life bar gradually diminishes, your ultimate goal is to pin them to the ground and claim victory once their bar reaches zero. It’s a simple yet captivating gameplay loop that is sure to entertain wrestling enthusiasts and fans of these influential tech moguls alike.
Blue Wizard Studio expressed its intent to settle the much-debated rivalry between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk through this entertaining virtual showdown. In a tweet promoting the game, they declared, “Let’s settle this Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk debate once and for all.” And with the option to play in two-player mode, you can even challenge your friends to a battle of the tech titans, intensifying the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat.
While the virtual clash between these high-profile figures may provide temporary satisfaction, a real-life showdown seems to be brewing. UFC President Dana White, known for his knack for creating thrilling fights, recently shared with TMZ that “both guys are absolutely dead serious about this.” The possibility of witnessing Musk and Zuckerberg step into the octagon is tantalizing, especially after Musk accepted a training offer from UFC fighting legend Georges St-Pierre. The stage is seemingly set for a collision between two titans from different worlds.
However, as the excitement builds, Musk’s mother has been actively trying to prevent the physical altercation from occurring. Taking to Twitter, she proposed an alternative approach: “A verbal fight only. Three questions each. The funniest answers win. Who agrees?” In her attempt to steer the confrontation toward a more lighthearted direction, Musk’s mother highlights the potential for a humorous showdown rather than a physical one.
Whether the clash ultimately materializes in the real world or remains confined to the virtual realm, the prospect of witnessing these influential figures engaging in a heated battle has captivated the public’s imagination. The Zuck vs Musk game offers a delightful taste of what could be, allowing players to temporarily step into the shoes of these tech giants and determine the outcome of their fierce rivalry.
