Reuters: Elon Musk said in a social media post yesterday that his proposed fight with Meta (META.O) Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg would be live-streamed on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The social media and tech moguls have been egging each other into a mixed martial arts cage match in Las Vegas since June.
“Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans,” Musk said in a post on X early on Sunday morning, without giving any further details.
Zuckerberg, responding on his social media app Threads, said late Sunday: “I’m ready today. I suggested Aug. 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn’t confirmed. Not holding my breath.”
He also suggested that they use a more “reliable platform” that can raise money for charity.
Earlier on Sunday, Musk had said on X he was “lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight”, adding that he did not have time to work out so brings the weights to work.When a user on X asked Musk the point of the fight, Musk responded by saying “It’s a civilized form of war. Men love war”.
