Los Angeles: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has once again entered an indirect war of words over the much-anticipated ‘cage fight’ between the two billionaires. Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly known as Twitter) made a tweet mocking Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for having not participated in their scheduled fight, on August 15. Initially, Zuckerberg posted on Instagram story, “Send me the location” along with the screenshot of Musk’s tweet where he had first challenged the Meta owner. Responding to this, the X-owner accused Zuckerberg of apparently not accepting the challenge.
The tweet, which linked to a Daily Mail article about Musk asking for a location to fight Zuckerberg, read, Musk stated, “Fight Recap: I joked on X about fighting Zuck Zuck then said “SEND ME LOCATION” Italy graciously offered a Colosseum Zuck declined I suggested his home as “safe space” Tragically, he was ahem “travelling” Is there anywhere he will fight?”
Earlier on Sunday, Zuckerberg in a cryptic post, gave the impression that he has backed off from the fight. In a post on Threads, he said that he was going to “focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously”.
“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead,” he said in the post.
This didn’t go down well with Musk, who took to X and threw some jabs at his tech rival. “Zuck is a chicken,” Musk posted.
The much anticipated cage fight
The two billionaires have been tossing around empty threats for several weeks while the rest of the world awaits, hoping both men meet in the octagon. As per Variety, the Meta and X/Twitter CEOs first sparked conversations about a potential MMA-style cage match in a series of back-and-forth messages on their platforms. Musk kicked off the exchange while replying to a June 20 Twitter thread where he wrote, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”
Recently Musk posted that the “Zuck v Musk fight” would be live-streamed via X with all proceeds going to charity. Zuckerberg fired back at Musk, taking a subtle dig at X/Twitter, when he wrote on Threads, “Shouldn’t we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?
The cage fight between the two CEOs was meant to be livestreamed on X, although a date for the match was never officially set.
This ongoing interaction between them has sparked a considerable uproar on social media, with numerous users speculating and placing bets on who might emerge victorious. Initially, there was anticipation that the event would occur either within the UFC Octagon located in Las Vegas or even at the historic Colosseum in Rome.
