Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg: who brings what?

The tech world is marked with stiff competition, coupled with the rise of two power men. Elon Musk, a business entrepreneur, known for his sojourns into space (SpaceX), electric cars (Tesla), and renewable energy (SolarCity), has conventionally been a radical thinker. With his straightforwardness and enormous projects, he has been admired by some and criticized by others.

Similarly, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, earlier named Facebook, has revolutionized social media and directed the company to build a global platform of billions of connected people. His focus on innovation in areas such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence has driven the shape of the digital landscape.

Musk's purchase of X, formerly known Twitter, and  Zuckerberg's work on a rival platform often make them direct competitors in the digital space.
