Elon Musk announces cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg to stream on X

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, has confirmed that the much-talked-about cage fight with Meta founder, Mark Zuckerberg, will be live-streamed on his social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter. Musk hinted that X users might have to pay to watch the live stream, with all proceeds from the event going to charity, specifically for veterans.

While the date for the fight is yet to be disclosed, Musk has revealed that he is already preparing for the showdown by diligently lifting weights. In a post on X, Musk stated, “Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans,” keeping further details under wraps.

The feud between the billionaires and social media moguls has been escalating since June, with both of them taunting each other to engage in a mixed martial arts cage match in Las Vegas. Musk ignited the rivalry by challenging Zuckerberg to a cage fight after a report hinted at Meta’s plans to create its version of Twitter. Zuckerberg, not backing down, responded with enthusiasm, posting a screenshot of Musk’s tweet and daring him to “send me location.” Musk quickly replied with “Vegas Octagon,” referring to the well-known events center for hosting MMA championship bouts.

As two of the world’s wealthiest individuals, Musk and Zuckerberg will now test their physical strength in this high-profile fight. Reports suggest that Musk’s fighting skills have been certified by a Brazilian jiu-jitsu Black Belt, while Zuckerberg has been studying various martial arts since 2020, impressing several UFC stars, including Conor McGregor, with his fighting ability.

The anticipation for this cage match is at an all-time high, with fans eagerly awaiting the official date and more details to be revealed on X.
