Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta, has confronted Elon Musk, the owner of X, for allegedly spreading rumors about an upcoming cage fight between the two without any prior discussion. On his recently-launched app Threads, Zuckerberg addressed Musk’s statements about the fight, asserting that nothing Musk had said was accurate.
“I’m enthusiastic about this sport, and I’ve been prepared to fight since the day Elon challenged me. If he agrees to an actual date, I’ll provide the information. Until then, assume that anything he says hasn’t been agreed upon,” Zuckerberg wrote.
Zuckerberg’s tone suggests his discontent with Musk’s frequent updates that appear to lead nowhere, and he seems to be questioning Musk’s credibility.
Mark Zuckerberg also seemed to dismiss Musk’s earlier claim that the fight would occur in Italy. He stated, “I’m not counting on Elon, but I’ll share details about my next fight when I’m ready. When I compete, I want to highlight the top athletes in the game. This is achieved by collaborating with professional organizations like the UFC or ONE to execute it well.”
Musk recently shared updates about the upcoming fight. He confirmed that the event will be held at Italy’s Colosseum and emphasized that it will be organized by their foundations rather than the UFC.
The past week saw Musk making multiple posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, regarding the fight with Zuckerberg. He had initially proposed August 26 for the showdown but apparently did not receive a response.
Initially, fans were enthusiastic about the idea of the billionaire brawl. However, it seems that Musk may have been making independent decisions about the fight’s particulars, a situation that Zuckerberg appears to be raising concerns about.
