Asked if the exchange was serious, a Meta spokesperson told the Verge: "The story speaks for itself." Musk, whose unpredictable management style since he bought Twitter for $44 billion last October has included thousands of layoffs, is notorious for blundering on the platform he owns. "Have I shot myself in the foot with tweets multiple times? Yes,” Musk said in an interview with the BBC in April. "I think I should not tweet after 3 a.m." Indeed, Zuckerberg might have an advantage if the billionaire bickering actually turns physical: Meta's CEO took up Brazilian jiu-jitsu during the COVID-19 pandemic, winning his first local tournament in California last month.
