Yea he apparently drove to Zuck’s house to I don’t know what, challenge him to fight on his front lawn? Even Elon didn’t really articulate why
But Elon said Zuck wasn’t there. Elon is still acting like he’s DTF (Down to Fight lol), but honestly everyone knows he has very little chance

iirc Elon said him and some engineers were testing a self driving vehicle in Palo Alto, and Zuck's house in that city is just a few miles from the Tesla facility, so they went to Zuck's house and a representative told them that Zuck was "traveling" which is probably true, but still, radio silence (after Zuck initially agreed to a "for charity" type fight) when your only tech rival is constantly calling you out looks bad, really bad.
stock price drop and market share loss bad. If you're the public face of a company, your spoken words are basically the same as a signed contract, in the court of public opinion.
IMO Zuck's only way out of this is to get Elon to agree to some kind of "for charity" comedic type fight, where they fight in some funny and entertaining manner, without a clear winner.
I think Elon would agree if Meta/Zuck made some concessions, then the world keeps on turning and a few hundred million goes to a good cause.
