Elon Musk says his proposed cage fight with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be live-streamed on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The social media 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,” Musk said in a post on X on Sunday.
“All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.”
Earlier on Sunday, Musk had said on X that he was “lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight”, adding he did not have time to work out so he brings the weights to work.
“It’s a civilised form of war. Men love war,” Musk responded when a user on X asked what the point of the fight was.
Meta did not respond to a Reuters request for comment on Musk’s post.
The brouhaha began when Musk said in a June 20 post that he was “up for a cage match” with Zuckerberg, who is trained in jiu-jitsu.
A day later, Zuckerberg, 39, who has posted pictures of matches he has won on his company’s Instagram platform, asked Musk, 51, to “send location” for the proposed throwdown, to which Musk replied “Vegas Octagon”, referring to an events centre where mixed martial arts (MMA) championship bouts are held.
Musk then said he would start training if the cage fight took shape.
