Elon Musk has stated that his potential face-off with Mark Zuckerberg in a cage fight may be streamed on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. In late June, the two prominent tech billionaires seemingly agreed to engage in a «cage match» showdown. Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook's parent company Meta, revealed his mixed martial arts training background and shared his participation in a jiu jitsu tournament earlier this year. Musk posted on Sunday (August 5) that the «Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X,» with all proceeds directed towards charity for veterans. Musk also mentioned that he was preparing for the fight by engaging in weightlifting, humorously mentioning his unconventional workout routine. The possibility of Musk and Zuckerberg actually meeting in a Las Vegas ring remains uncertain. Nevertheless, the playful exchange has garnered attention. The exchange began when Musk, the owner of X, responded to a tweet discussing Meta's plans to release a Twitter competitor named Threads. Musk playfully criticized the potential monopoly of the social media landscape by Zuckerberg, prompting one user to joke about Zuckerberg's jiu jitsu skills. Musk's response was lighthearted, expressing his willingness for a cage match if Zuckerberg was game. Musk's interest in streaming the potential fight aligns with his goal of transforming X into a «digital town square.» However, his previous attempt to use the platform for high-profile events encountered technical glitches and delays.
