Body Slam Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg in This Free Game
Ever wanted to hit Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg with a chair? Now you can, in a game, at least. News of the tech CEOs agreeing to fight each other in real life inspired a game studio to create a wrestling-style brawler featuring the duo facing off in the ring.
Zuck v Musk(Opens in a new window): Techbro Beatdown is available online for free. The 2D game lets you play as the Facebook founder or Tesla CEO and bash the other with various wrestling moves.
The game comes from Canada’s Blue Wizard Studio, which was founded by Jason Kapalka, the designer behind the hit puzzle game Bejeweled. The studio also created a separate wrestling game called Wrestle Bros(Opens in a new window), and it applied the same game mechanics to Zuck v Musk.
“Let's settle this Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk debate once and for all,” Blue Wizard said in a tweet(Opens in a new window) promoting the game.
The game, which features two player modes, is pretty simple. Punch, body slam, or elbow drop your opponent (whether that's Musk or Zuckerberg) using the directional keys or the spacebar. Once their life bar drops to zero, you pin them to the ground to win the match.
In the meantime, it looks like momentum is building for a real fight between the two CEOs. UFC President Dana White told TMZ “'both guys are absolutely dead serious about this.” In addition, Musk accepted(Opens in a new window) an offer from UFC fighting legend Georges St-Pierre to train him.
However, Musk’s mom has been trying to stop the fight from happening. “A verbal fight only. Three questions each. The funniest answers win. Who agrees?” she wrote(Opens in a new window) on Twitter.
