Elon Musk, the former head of Twitter, now known as X, has reignited the buzz surrounding his much-anticipated “cage fight” with Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta. In a recent update shared on his microblogging platform, Musk confirmed that the highly anticipated duel was still in the works and would be broadcast live on X.
In his tweet, Musk conveyed, “The Zuck v Musk fight is set to be live-streamed on X.” As part of an effort to incorporate a charitable dimension, he also disclosed that the entirety of the proceeds generated from the event would be channeled towards supporting charitable initiatives aimed at benefiting veterans.
Last month, the internet was set ablaze with rumors of an impending cage match between the tech titans, following their mutual acceptance of each other’s challenge. Musk, in a recent post on X, disclosed that he was diligently preparing for the face-off by incorporating weightlifting sessions into his daily routine. In a light-hearted response to a user query regarding the purpose of the fight, Musk humorously stated, “It’s a civilised form of war. Men love war.”
The rivalry between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk is far from new, characterized by their playful exchanges and disagreements spanning various subjects, from politics to artificial intelligence. The tension between them deepened when Meta introduced its app Threads, a move perceived as an attempt to attract disgruntled Twitter users, who were critical of Musk’s platform policies.
The notion of a showdown was first sparked by Musk when he tweeted his openness to a “cage fight” with Zuckerberg. The Meta founder, known for his interest in martial arts, responded via his Instagram stories with the phrase, “Send me location.” The playful banter escalated, attracting attention from various quarters, including UFC chief Dana White’s offer to lend them the octagon. Rumors even circulated that the epic face-off might occur in Italy’s Colosseum.
While fans have eagerly speculated on the potential victor, Zuckerberg emerged as the clear favorite. As the countdown continues to the highly awaited live-streamed event on X, the tech world anticipates an unforgettable clash between two of its most influential figures.
