Elon Musk says his potential in-person fight with Mark Zuckerberg would be streamed on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.
Elon Musk says his potential in-person fight with Mark Zuckerberg would be streamed on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.
The two tech billionaires seemingly agreed to a "cage match" face-off in late June. Zuckerberg is actually trained in mixed martial arts, and the Facebook founder posted about completing his first jiu jitsu tournament earlier this year.
"Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X," Musk wrote in a post Sunday on the platform. "All proceeds will go to charity for veterans."
Musk said earlier Sunday he was training for the fight by lifting weights.
"Don't have time to work out, so I just bring them to work," Musk wrote on X.
Whether or not Musk and Zuckerberg actually make it to the ring has yet to be seen -- especially as Musk often tweets about action prematurely or without following through. But even if their cage match agreement is all a joke, the banter has gained attention.
It all started when Musk, who owns X, responded to a tweet about Meta preparing to release a new Twitter rival called Threads. He took a dig about the world becoming "exclusively under Zuck's thumb with no other options" -- but then one Twitter user jokingly warned Musk of Zuckerberg's jiu jitsu training.
