The ongoing verbal clash between Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg, is getting more intense. However, it's unlikely that they would physically fight like in a UFC match. The disagreement started when Meta introduced its highly anticipated rival to Twitter called "Threads, an Instagram" app last week. Since then, both companies and their leaders have been trying hard to show that their platforms are better. Musk has been criticizing Zuckerberg and using insulting words like "cuck." He even made a joking comment about a "literal dick-measuring contest" to provoke him.

Musk has been actively expressing his criticism of Meta's Threads over the past few days. He has specifically targeted the features of the new app while also filing a lawsuit alleging that Meta unlawfully recruited former Twitter employees to develop this "copycat" platform.

On Sunday, Musk took a more straightforward approach to attack Zucke. He tweeted the phrase "Zuck is a cuck" along with a screenshot of a Threads conversation between Zuckerberg and the official Wendy's fast-food account. The term "cuck" is a derogatory slang associated with a sexual fetish where an individual derives pleasure from observing their partner engaging in sexual activity with someone else.

However, Musk did not stop there. In a final provocative move, he made a request in a tweet, abandoning all subtlety, by proposing a "literal dick measuring contest."

While the exact trigger for Musk's use of the derogatory insult "cuck" against Zuckerberg remains unclear, it is likely related to the introduction of Threads, the Twitter competitor developed by Zuckerberg. Musk has openly expressed his criticism of Meta's co-founder since the launch of Threads, an app that shares similarities in design and functionality with Twitter. This has led to a series of attacks from Musk directed toward his fellow billionaire.

Amidst this ongoing dispute, Musk confirmed the existence of a lawsuit against Meta-owned Threads. Musk highlighted the violation of "intellectual property rights" and emphasised that while competition is acceptable, cheating is not. He communicated his concerns to Mark Zuckerberg through a letter from his lawyer, Alex Spiro, accusing Meta of engaging in the "unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property."
