Elon Musk’s Anticipated Cage Match with Mark Zuckerberg to Be Livestreamed on X
In a surprising turn of events, tech magnate Elon Musk has revealed that his much-discussed cage fight against Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is still on the horizon. The spectacle, set to take place, is slated for a live broadcast on Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).
Reports from Business Insider confirm that the impending clash between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg remains in the works, as indicated by a recent statement from Musk himself. The event is poised to be streamed in real-time on X, Musk’s rebranded social media network. However, it remains unclear whether Zuckerberg has consented to this condition, raising eyebrows especially since his analogous platform, Threads, is struggling.
Elon Musk seemingly solidified the much-anticipated brawl, affirming that it will indeed grace his digital realm. “Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X,” Musk affirmed, underlining, “All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.” This unique showdown between the tech titans has been brewing since June, stemming from Musk’s critique of Facebook’s Threads initiative. Responding swiftly, Zuckerberg accepted Musk’s challenge with a terse “Send Me Location.”
Musk’s preparation for the bout has garnered attention, from weightlifting to even livestreaming a bicep curl on X. When questioned about the rationale behind the clash, Musk retorted, “It’s a civilized form of war. Men love war.” The gravity of the event has been validated by Dana White, the head of Ultimate Fighting Championship, who engaged with both Musk and Zuckerberg on this matter. White’s team even ventured as far as consulting a senior Italian government official about the feasibility of hosting the spectacle at Rome’s Colosseum. Despite the fervor surrounding the contest, neither Facebook (now Meta) nor X (formerly Twitter) have issued any official statements in response to inquiries.
