Will this fight ever actually happen? An MMA showdown between Zuck and Musk?!! What started as an internet joke has gotten more real than anyone expected.
“Zuck v. Musk fight will be live-streamed on X,” Musk wrote in a post on Sunday. “All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.”
From Fortune:
Whether or not Musk and Zuckerberg actually make it to the ring in Las Vegas 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.
“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Musk wrote.
“This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world,” UFC president Dana White told TMZ. “It would break all pay-per-view records.”
“If these guys are serious, I make fights that people want to see,” he said. “These are early stages. We’ll see how things play out.”
.@elonmusk says all proceeds from his fight with Zuckerberg will go to charity for veterans. And that is going to be a whole lot of proceeds. https://t.co/EVt2PCTGyD
