New Delhi: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg on Sunday traded barbs at one another earlier than their upcoming cage combat at an epic location in Italy, with the Tesla CEO difficult Meta Founder to combat in his yard on Monday. Musk posted a chat with Zuckerberg on X (previously Twitter), saying he will likely be in Palo Alto (California) on Monday and provided to combat on Zuckerberg’s “Octagon”.
Zuckerberg apparently messaged Musk: “If you still want to do a real MMA fight, then you should train on your own and let me know when you’re ready to compete”. (Also Read: Gautam Adani’s Superb Luxury Car Collection Makes Heads Turn)
“I don’t want to keep hyping something that will never happen, so you should either decide you’re going to do this and do it soon, or we should move on,” Zuckerberg mentioned. (Also Read: Love & Profits: Turn Your Passion For Pairing Hearts Into Earnings And Earn Upto Rs 50,000 Per Wedding)
Musk replied: “1 have not been practicing much, apart from a brief bout with Lex Fridman today. While I think it is very unlikely, given our size difference, perhaps you are a modern-day Bruce Lee and will somehow win”.
American author-journalist Walter Isaacson first posted that Musk is asking Zuckerberg to combat at his house in Palo Alto, California.
In a tweet, Isaacson who has been the President and CEO of the Aspen Institute, a nonpartisan coverage research organisation, mentioned: “I got this text message from Elon Musk at 4:44am CT showing a screenshot of some text messages in which he tells Zuckerberg they should fight this Monday at Zuckerberg’s home in Palo Alto”.
Zuckerberg later posted on Threads that “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on”.
“I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead,” mentioned the Meta Founder.
“If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously,” Zuckerberg added.
Meta Founder and CEO earlier mentioned he was “not holding his breath” for Musk to conform to a combat date. Musk had mentioned he has been in touch with the Italian prime minister and minister of tradition about internet hosting the occasion.
However, Zuckerberg mentioned no date has been agreed. Zuckerberg, 39, holds a blue belt in jiu-jitsu and not too long ago gained gold and silver medals in a match.
