Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg UFC-style cage fight isn't the leadership the world needs
Last month, tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg taunted each other over a potential cage match inside a "Vegas octagon," a faceoff touted as the "biggest fight ever."
Now, Zuckerberg has launched his own Twitter-like platform, called Threads, which already has more than 100 million users.
Musk isn’t convinced that Zuckerberg has achieved much more than distracting humanity, and the Tesla founder's subversive rhetoric hit a pinnacle when he exclaimed, "Zuck is a cuck."
And don’t even ask Musk about Zuckerberg's much-maligned “metaverse.” But Zuckerberg might just as easily question Musk's fruitless effort to live on the deserts of Mars.
Is all this attention worth the clicks? And what does Musk and Zuckerberg's approach tell us about our culture of leadership?
The world doesn’t need leaders hellbent on more fighting, especially fighting for their own egos. We need leaders ready to take responsibility. Brave enough to become peacemakers. We need principled leaders who can help work cultures heal.
Instead of promoting cage matches, what if we were brave enough to squarely face the struggle to become better leaders and humans?
