In contrast, Zuckerberg, who leads Meta (formerly Facebook), is driven by a vision of an interconnected world and sees AI as a tool to enhance user experience on social platforms. Their opposing views came to light in 2017, when Musk warned of AI’s potential risks, labeling it a fundamental threat to humanity. Adding fuel to the fire, Musk has been critical of how Zuckerberg’s platforms handle data and privacy concerns, calling Facebook lame and even deleting Tesla and SpaceX’s accounts from the platform.

on earth 0:43 before we learn the reasons behind the 0:44 feud Behind These Tech Giants we first 0:47 need an insight into their lives Elon 0:50 musk's Story begins in Petoria South 0:52 Africa where he was born on June 28th 0:56 1971 from an early age Elon showed a 1:00 curiosity and drive that hinted at his 1:02 future Ambitions growing up Elon often 1:06 spent hours reading and diving into 1:08 Science Fiction comics and Technology 1:10 books and he developed a deep interest 1:13 in computers and programming elon's 1:16 family background was a blend of diverse 1:18 influences his mother may was a model 1:21 and dietician from Canada while his 1:23 father Errol was a South African 1:25 electromechanical engineer as a young 1:28 boy Elon was known for his intellect and 1:31 curiosity but also for his shyness which 1:34 made him a target for bullying at school 1:37 in fact he was even physically attacked 1:39 by other students to the point where he 1:42 had to be 1:43 hospitalized despite these tough 1:45 experiences Elon found a safe space in 1:47 his books and Technology projects and he 1:49 developed a particular fascination with 1:51 computers at an early age at just 12 1:55 years old he used a manual to teach 1:57 himself programming eventually creating 1:59 a simple video game called Blaster a 2:02 space themed game that he later sold to 2:05 a computer magazine for 2:07 $500 this was his first business 2:09 transaction and it gave him a taste of 2:11 what he could achieve with technology 2:13 and his skills elon's education began in 2:17 South Africa but he soon felt limited by 2:19 the environment and began thinking about 2:21 opportunities abroad at age 17 he moved 2:25 to Canada to attend Queen's University 2:27 in Ontario he was also seeking a gateway 2:30 to the United States where he believed 2:32 the most exciting advancements in 2:34 technology were happening elon's move 2:37 was a strategic decision not just an 2:39 escape as he sought out new challenges 2:42 and opportunities to work toward his 2:44 vision of the future during his time 2:46 there he and a fellow student rented a 2:49 large house off campus and converted it 2:51 into a nightclub charging entrance fees 2:54 to fund their activities Elon graduated 2:57 in 1997 and was accepted into a PhD 3:01 program in applied physics and Material 3:04 Science at 3:05 Stanford however his time at Stanford 3:08 was brief he left after just 2 days 3:12 realizing that the pace of technological 3:14 innovation in Silicon Valley was exactly 3:17 where he wanted to be and he couldn't 3:19 afford to wait he wasn't afraid to take 3:22 risks and he was willing to make 3:24 sacrifices for what he believed were 3:26 greater 3:27 opportunities instead of continuing with 3:30 school Elon co-founded his first company 3:33 ZIP 2 in 3:35 1996 zip 2 was an online business 3:38 directory that provided maps and 3:40 listings to newspapers an early version 3:43 of what Google Maps and Yelp offer today 3:46 their startup caught the attention of 3:48 several major players in Silicon Valley 3:50 and in 1999 the computer company compac 3:54 acquired zip 2 for nearly $300 3:58 million after zip 2 4:00 Elon started X in 1999 an online payment 4:04 company with a vision to revolutionize 4:06 the financial industry it eventually 4:08 became PayPal one of the first digital 4:11 payment platforms PayPal grew rapidly 4:14 but he often clashed with other 4:15 Executives over his ambitious ideas and 4:18 his unconventional management style led 4:21 to some friction within the company in 4:24 2002 eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 4:28 billion 4:30 Elon used the funds from PayPal to 4:32 launch his next set of companies which 4:34 would prove to be his most significant 4:37 in 2002 he founded Space X a private 4:41 Aerospace company aimed at making space 4:44 travel more affordable and eventually 4:46 enabling human life on Mars This Venture 4:49 was highly risky as no private company 4:52 had successfully launched Rockets into 4:54 orbit and the space industry was 4:57 historically dominated by government 4:59 agen gencies Elon invested $100 million 5:02 of his own money into space X and the 5:05 company faced several setbacks including 5:08 multiple failed rocket launchers however 5:12 after years of persistence SpaceX 5:14 succeeded and in 2008 it became the 5:18 first private company to send a rocket 5:21 to the International Space Station 5:23 around the same time Elon co-founded 5:26 Tesla in 2004 Elon took a Hands-On 5:30 Approach at Tesla overseeing design and 5:33 engineering and he invested millions of 5:35 his own money to keep the company afloat 5:38 by 2012 Tesla launched the model S which 5:42 received widespread praise and helped to 5:44 shift public perception about electric 5:47 vehicles in addition to SpaceX and Tesla 5:51 Elon founded other Ventures each aimed 5:53 at tackling what he saw as critical 5:55 issues for the future of humanity these 5:58 included so Solar City which promoted 6:01 solar energy solutions neuralink which 6:03 explores brain machine interfaces and 6:05 the boring company which focuses on 6:07 developing underground Transportation 6:10 tunnels but to understand why he hates 6:13 Mark Zuckerberg let's learn more about 6:15 him and see where the two first 6:17 clashed The Mastermind behind 6:21 meta Mark Zuckerberg's Story begins on 6:23 May 14th 1984 in White Plains New York 6:28 his father was a dentist and his mother 6:30 was a 6:31 psychiatrist growing up Mark was the 6:34 second of four children and showed signs 6:36 of Brilliance early on he was always 6:39 interested in computers and Technology 6:41 spending a lot of his childhood 6:43 tinkering with software and programming 6:46 from an early age Mark displayed a keen 6:48 intellect and a knack for problem 6:51 solving by the age of 12 he created a 6:54 messaging program called zaket which 6:57 allowed the computers in his father's 6:59 death Al practice to communicate with 7:01 each other this is the first but not the 7:04 last of the similarities between the two 7:06 Tech Giants maybe a reason why their 7:09 Feud started in the first place after 7:11 graduating high school he enrolled at 7:13 Harvard in 2002 where he initially 7:16 pursued a degree in 7:18 Psychology at Harvard Mark's passion for 7:21 technology and social networking took 7:23 Center Stage he quickly became involved 7:26 in a number of projects and was 7:28 fascinated by the the concept of 7:30 connecting people online in his 7:32 sophomore year he developed face Mash a 7:36 website that allowed students to compare 7:38 two students photos side by side and 7:41 vote on who was more attractive although 7:44 face Mash was short-lived as Harvard 7:45 shut it down after a few days due to 7:47 privacy concerns it gained attention and 7:50 showcased Mark's ability to create 7:53 engaging online platforms inspired by 7:56 the response to face Mash Mark began 7:58 working on a more ambitious project in 8:02 2004 along with his college roommates 8:04 Eduardo savarin Andrew McCollum Dustin 8:07 moskovitz and Chris Hughes he launched 8:11 the 8:12 Facebook initially designed as a social 8:14 network for Harvard students the 8:16 Facebook allowed users to create 8:18 profiles connect with friends and share 8:22 information the website quickly gained 8:24 popularity expanding to other IV League 8:27 schools and then to universities across 8:29 the United States and Canada as the 8:32 Facebook grew it attracted the attention 8:34 of investors Mark and his team 8:36 recognized the potential of their 8:38 creation and decided to focus on it 8:40 fulltime they dropped out of college in 8:42 2004 to pursue the business moving to 8:45 California where they found office space 8:47 and began to develop the platform 8:49 further this decision was a significant 8:52 turning point in Mark's life he traded 8:54 the stability of education for the 8:56 uncertain but exciting world of 8:58 entrepreneur Ur ship with the support of 9:01 investors including Peter theel a 9:03 co-founder of PayPal next to Elon Musk 9:06 the Facebook transformed into Facebook 9:09 the platform continued to expand rapidly 9:11 and became known for its userfriendly 9:13 interface encouraging more people to 9:16 join and share their lives online by 9:19 2006 Facebook had evolved from a college 9:21 social network into a global platform 9:24 and opened its doors to anyone over the 9:26 age of 13 with a valid email address 9:29 this strategy was critical in 9:31 positioning Facebook as a leader in the 9:34 social media landscape as Facebook's 9:36 popularity soared so did its valuation 9:40 Mark's stake in the company made him one 9:42 of the youngest billionaires ever over 9:45 the years Facebook expanded its services 9:48 by acquiring several other companies 9:50 including Instagram and WhatsApp these 9:53 Acquisitions allowed Mark to diversify 9:55 the company's offerings and further 9:57 solidify Facebook's dominance in social 9:59 media and messaging his strategy was to 10:02 create an ecosystem where users could 10:04 communicate share and interact 10:07 seamlessly across different platforms 10:10 Beyond Facebook Mark has also expressed 10:12 a desire to address broader societal 10:14 challenges in 2015 he and his wife 10:17 founded a philanthropic organization 10:20 aimed at advancing human potential and 10:22 promoting equal opportunity through this 10:25 initiative they focus on areas such as 10:28 education science and social justice 10:31 committing to donate the majority of 10:33 their wealth to various causes in 2021 10:36 his company rebranded from Facebook to 10:39 meta but the app names stayed the same 10:42 but Mark's influence extends Beyond meta 10:44 he is often at the Forefront of 10:46 discussions about the future of 10:47 technology and its impact on society he 10:50 advocates for advancements in artificial 10:52 intelligence virtual reality and 10:55 connectivity aiming to create a more 10:57 inclusive digital world although these 11:00 two are some of the greatest Minds today 11:02 their differences in opinion over the 11:03 years have started a feud that has been 11:06 slowly growing in the last decade the 11:09 feud Begins the relationship between 11:12 Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has always 11:14 been marked by Innovation and rivalry 11:18 both have played significant roles in 11:19 shaping the technology landscape but 11:21 their paths have often crossed in ways 11:23 that fueled public Intrigue particularly 11:26 when it comes to their differing 11:28 perspectives on artificial intelligence 11:30 and the occasional Fallout over business 11:32 ventures in 2016 a pivotal moment in 11:35 their relationship unfolded when elon's 11:38 company SpaceX experienced a significant 11:41 setback SpaceX was contracted to launch 11:44 a Facebook satellite called Amos 6 11:47 intended to provide internet access to 11:49 underserved regions of the world the 11:52 satellite represented a crucial step in 11:54 Mark's vision of connecting billions of 11:57 people especially in underdeveloped 11:59 countri countries unfortunately during a 12:01 routine test on September 1st the Falcon 12:03 9 rocket exploded on the Launchpad 12:06 destroying both the rocket and the 12:08 satellite Mark publicly expressed his 12:11 dissatisfaction on Facebook stating he 12:13 was deeply disappointed to hear that 12:15 SpaceX launch failure destroyed their 12:17 satellite Elon didn't respond but behind 12:20 the scenes the hate between the two was 12:22 growing elon's response to the incident 12:25 came a bit later as he took to Twitter 12:27 in 2018 to address the situation he 12:30 acknowledged the failure in an ironic 12:32 Way by saying it was his fault for being 12:34 an idiot he said they gave them a free 12:36 launch to make up for it and that they 12:38 had insurance basically saying that Mark 12:40 has no right to hold a grudge this tweet 12:43 laced with a mix of humor and honesty 12:45 highlighted elon's willingness to accept 12:47 responsibility albeit with a touch of 12:49 irony however it also reflected the 12:52 competitive and sometimes contentious 12:54 relationship between the two Tech Titans 12:57 the feud between musk and Zuckerberg did 13:00 not rest solely on the SpaceX incident 13:02 in 2017 the topic of artificial 13:05 intelligence became a major point of 13:07 contention between the two during a 13:10 Facebook live session a viewer posed a 13:12 question about musk's concerns regarding 13:14 artificial intelligence a subject that 13:17 Elon had frequently warned about often 13:19 referring to it as one of the greatest 13:21 threats to humanity in response 13:23 Zuckerberg expressed his optimism about 13:26 ai's potential he cannot understand and 13:29 the people who are naysayers about the 13:30 topic and try to make doomsday scenarios 13:33 he even went on to say it was 13:35 irresponsible Mark remarks underscored 13:38 his belief that AI could drive 13:40 significant advancements and improve 13:42 lives rather than pose an existential 13:45 threat however this optimism was met 13:48 with skepticism from Elon who had long 13:51 warned about the dangers of unregulated 13:53 AI development shortly after the 13:56 comments Elon said he had talked to Mark 13:58 about the topic and that his 14:00 understanding of the subject was limited 14:02 The Exchange over AI was not just a 14:04 matter of personal disagreement it 14:06 symbolized a broader debate within the 14:08 Tech Community while Elon advocates for 14:11 caution and regulation in AI development 14:14 warning that it could become 14:16 uncontrollable and harmful Mark 14:18 emphasizes the importance of advancing 14:21 technology for the greater good as the 14:24 years progressed the feud took on New 14:26 Dimensions with both leaders continuing 14:28 to speak out on various issues the 14:31 Dynamics of their relationship have also 14:33 been influenced by external factors such 14:36 as regulatory scrutiny and public 14:38 sentiment Facebook has faced criticism 14:41 over privacy issues misinformation and 14:44 its impact on society which has led to 14:47 calls for increased regulation Elon who 14:51 has also faced his share of scrutiny 14:53 regarding Tesla and SpaceX often found 14:56 himself weighing in on such matters 14:58 sometimes criticizing the tech 15:00 industry's handling of these challenges 15:02 X versus 15:04 Facebook the feud reached another level 15:07 when Elon openly criticized Mark's 15:09 approach to social media and its 15:11 societal impact he showcased his disdain 15:14 for Facebook's influence and its 15:16 handling of controversial 15:19 issues elon's hate towards Facebook and 15:21 Mark reached a dramatic point in early 15:24 2018 when he decided to sever ties with 15:28 the platform Al 15:29 together his comments were a reflection 15:32 of the growing concerns surrounding 15:34 misinformation and social media's role 15:37 in shaping public opinion Mark of course 15:41 disagreed but it was one of the main 15:43 reasons why Elon bought Twitter and 15:45 stated he wouldn't cancel 15:47 anyone it all began when deleting 15:50 Facebook started trending on social 15:54 media the movement gained momentum 15:57 following the Fallout from the Cambridge 16:00 analytica Scandal which revealed that 16:03 millions of Facebook users data had been 16:05 harvested without their 16:07 consent as public outrage grew over 16:10 privacy violations and the misuse of 16:12 data influential figures began calling 16:15 for people to delete their Facebook 16:17 accounts among those voices was Brian 16:20 Acton the co-founder of WhatsApp who 16:23 encouraged users to ditch the platform 16:26 Elon joined the conversation with a 16:28 tweet that caught the attention of many 16:32 what's 16:32 Facebook this seemingly casual remark 16:36 reflected his dismissal of the platform 16:38 amid Rising concerns over privacy and 16:41 ethical 16:42 practices his decision to delete the 16:45 Facebook accounts of his companies Tesla 16:47 and SpaceX was a bold statement of 16:49 defiance against the Tech Giant in a 16:53 follow-up tweet he mentioned that he was 16:55 unaware of spacex's Facebook page saying 16:58 he didn't even know there was one the 17:01 significance of these actions was 17:03 twofold first it highlighted a growing 17:06 skepticism towards Facebook and its 17:09 practices elon's stance resonated with a 17:12 segment of the public that was 17:13 increasingly wary of the platform's role 17:16 in data privacy issues and the spread of 17:19 misinformation by removing his company's 17:21 accounts he aligned himself with a 17:23 movement that called for greater 17:25 accountability and transparency from 17:28 social media platforms also the comments 17:31 added to the feud between him and Mark 17:35 while both are Tech Titans in their own 17:37 right their Visions for the future often 17:40 Clash unlike Mark who has built an 17:43 Empire on the principles of social 17:45 networking and online community 17:47 engagement Elon has often relied on 17:49 direct communication with his audience 17:51 through Twitter he utilizes the platform 17:54 to share updates tease new products and 17:57 engage with fans fans and critics alike 18:00 in contrast Mark has faced significant 18:03 challenges in recent years Facebook's 18:06 reputation has been tarnished by 18:08 numerous controversies the spread of 18:11 false information and the platform's 18:13 influence on political 18:15 discourse these challenges have put him 18:17 in a difficult position in the years 18:20 that followed the Rivalry continued to 18:22 play out in various ways Elon has been 18:25 even more active and critical on Twitter 18:27 which he renamed X when he acquired it 18:31 while Mark didn't have much to say at 18:32 that point as he battled public scrutiny 18:35 and even had to defend himself before 18:39 Congress the cage match in 2023 their 18:43 Feud reached the largest Point yet what 18:46 began as a comment from Elon evolved 18:49 into a potential showdown between two of 18:51 the most influential figures in the tech 18:54 industry The Saga started when Elon 18:57 casually tweeted that he would be 18:58 willing to fight Mark in a cage match 19:02 this declaration quickly gained traction 19:04 with fans and media alike weighing in on 19:07 the prospect of a real life brawl 19:09 between the two 19:11 billionaires the notion was both absurd 19:14 and intriguing two of the most powerful 19:16 men in the world known for their work in 19:19 technology and Innovation stepping into 19:21 an 19:22 octagon Elon with his tall frame and 19:25 larger build seemed to have the physical 19:27 advantage on the surf surface however 19:30 while he boasted about his willingness 19:32 to step into the ring it became apparent 19:34 that he wasn't exactly in Peak physical 19:37 condition elon's background is more 19:40 rooted in Tech entrepreneurship than 19:42 athleticism and many wondered if he 19:44 could keep up in a rigorous physical 19:47 contest against a trained opponent on 19:50 the other hand Mark already had a solid 19:52 foundation in martial arts specifically 19:55 Brazilian 19:57 jiujitsu he had been training for years 20:00 taking classes and even rolling with top 20:02 tier Fighters like Israel Adisa the UFC 20:06 middleweight champion and Alec 20:08 volkanovski the UFC featherweight 20:11 Champion these sessions with Elite 20:13 athletes gave Mark a significant Edge in 20:16 grappling and submission techniques his 20:19 experience in Jiu-Jitsu meant he 20:21 understood the mechanics of fighting and 20:24 was likely more comfortable in a high 20:26 press situation inside the cave 20:29 but with little training Elon had a 20:32 large possibility to come up on top due 20:35 to having 6 in more in height and over 20:38 100 lb in weight on Mark this difference 20:41 is far from small and there is a reason 20:43 why weight categories exist in fighting 20:46 Sports as excitement grew over the 20:48 potential match the two engaged in a 20:51 back and forth on social media trading 20:53 light Jabs and insults fans began to 20:56 imagine what the event could look like 20:58 picturing a high-profile cage match that 21:01 might even be streamed online for 21:03 Millions to watch the idea was not just 21:06 about the fight it was a collision of 21:09 personalities contrasting their very 21:12 different approaches to life and 21:14 business both were deep in training and 21:17 Elon even envisioned the match happening 21:18 in the Coliseum with live streams on 21:21 both of their 21:22 platforms however as the buzz 21:25 intensified the reality of organizing 21:27 such a spectacle began to settle in 21:31 promoting a legitimate fight between two 21:33 billionaires involves legal logistical 21:37 and safety considerations that quickly 21:39 complicate the idea there were 21:42 discussions about the venue potential 21:44 rules and safety measures that needed to 21:47 be put in place despite the initial 21:50 enthusiasm the fight never materialized 21:53 and it was announced that the match was 21:55 officially off while no specific reasons 21:58 were cited there were several factors at 22:00 play first both men are incredibly busy 22:04 with their respective Ventures despite 22:06 their longlasting Feud and elon's hate 22:09 towards Mark juggling the demands of 22:12 their companies with the training 22:13 required for a fight has proven too much 22:16 especially considering the public 22:18 scrutiny moreover the sheer absurdity of 22:21 the idea began to weigh on the 22:23 seriousness of their 22:25 brands both Elon and Mark are 22:27 influential figures in their Industries 22:29 and engaging in a potentially staged 22:31 fight could have had negative 22:33 repercussions for their 22:35 reputations fighting in a cage is no 22:37 small feat it comes with risks and both 22:40 men would need to consider the potential 22:42 for injury the public was left to ponder 22:45 what could have been and while the cage 22:48 match never happened their Feud didn't 22:51 stop recent development recently the 22:54 ongoing rivalry between Elon and Mark 22:57 has seen new 22:59 developments one of the most notable 23:01 moments occurred when Elon took to 23:03 Twitter to express his views on meta's 23:06 platforms he criticized Instagram 23:09 suggesting that it contributes to 23:11 feelings of depression among its 23:14 users this comment came at a time when 23:16 discussions about mental health and 23:18 social media's impact on well-being were 23:21 at the Forefront of public 23:23 discourse this is the biggest reason why 23:26 Elon Musk hates mark 23:29 Zuckerberg he's a liar this remark was 23:32 directed towards mark because of many 23:34 safety controversies in which meta was 23:37 involved elon's statement echoed broader 23:40 concerns about the psychological effects 23:42 of social media particularly among 23:45 younger 23:46 users in addition to Instagram Elon also 23:50 cast doubt on the reliability of 23:52 WhatsApp he described the messaging 23:54 platform as something that cannot be 23:56 trusted further escalating in tensions 23:59 with 24:00 Mark his remarks seem to aim not only at 24:03 meter's products but also at the broader 24:05 conversation about privacy and Security 24:09 in the digital age this critique was 24:12 significant given that WhatsApp has been 24:14 advertised for its endtoend 24:17 encryption and has millions of users 24:19 relying on it for private 24:22 communication Mark's response to these 24:24 developments was funny shortly after the 24:26 launch of threads a new app designed to 24:29 compete with Twitter he made Headlines 24:31 by posting on Twitter for the first time 24:34 in over a decade his choice to share the 24:37 pointing Spider-Man meme was 24:39 particularly loaded this highlighted the 24:42 competitive landscape between threads 24:44 and Twitter again drawing attention to 24:47 the feud that has developed not just 24:49 between him and Elon but also among 24:51 their respective platforms is Elon right 24:54 to hate Mark let us know in the comments The Crow 21.7K subscribers Videos About 5
