In a tit-for-tat exchange of challenge and counter-response, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has addressed Elon Musk's recent announcement about their proposed fight. The feud between the billionaire tech moguls has taken another turn as they clash over the details of the anticipated showdown.
Earlier this week, Elon Musk had ignited the buzz by revealing that their epic duel would unfold in a yet-to-be-disclosed location in Italy. Musk promised an electrifying spectacle by live-streaming the entire event on his platforms, X and Meta. However, Mark Zuckerberg has now weighed in, offering his perspective through a post on Threads.
In his response, Zuckerberg emphasized his interest in involving Dana White and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the planning process. He clarified that despite Musk's declarations, no agreements had been reached between them. Zuckerberg wrote, "please assume anything [Musk] says has not been agreed on."
Addressing the possibility of the fight, Zuckerberg outlined his vision, stating, "When I compete, I want to do it in a way that puts a spotlight on the elite athletes at the top of the game." He highlighted the importance of collaborating with professional organizations like UFC or ONE Championship to ensure the fight's success.
To back up his determination, Zuckerberg shared an image of himself training intensely in an Octagon set up in his backyard, emphasizing his commitment to preparing for the potential bout.
The rivalry between Zuckerberg and Musk initially sparked in June when Musk proposed the idea of a cage match, particularly after news of Zuckerberg's Threads project surfaced. However, practical hurdles remain, and the fight's fruition seems distant. Furthermore, it has come to light that Musk is dealing with a shoulder injury that requires minor surgery, putting any immediate fight plans on hold for several months.
As the tech titans exchange verbal blows and work towards settling the terms, the anticipation for this clash of minds and wills continues to captivate audiences, with the details and location yet to be definitively determined.
