Welcome to Thursday, where if you live on the East Coast it somehow feels like spring. It's Brett Molina here waiting for summer to start as I deliver your top stories in tech.

Before we start, I must remind you I do not write for our Sports section because what you're about to read might throw you off: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg seem to have agreed to a cage fight.

Yes, the same Zuckerberg who owns Facebook versus Musk, the CEO of Tesla and owner of Twitter. The world's richest person in the world (Musk) squaring up against the 10th richest person (Zuckerberg), according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. Fighting in a cage.

It all started when Musk quipped on Twitter that Earth "can't wait to be exclusively under Zuck's thumb with no other options."

After a Twitter user warned Zuckerberg had been taking jiu-jitsu, Musk said he is "up for a cage match if he is." Enter Zuckerberg, who posted a screenshot of the tweet in an Instagram story with the message "Send me location."

The big question of course is are they really going to do this? Filing this in my "I'll Believe It When I See It" folder.

Can you tell it's been a slow week for tech news?

I think we all know the drill when we call to have pizza delivered. Give your order, then your address, then you pay. A new Domino's Pizza program plans to skip the address part. Instead, you can drop a pin on a map to give your location and they'll deliver the pizza to that spot . Just in case you are craving a slice at the beach this summer.

Until next Thursday. Thanks for reading!
