In a highly anticipated development, Elon Musk has officially confirmed his upcoming battle with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Speaking on social media platform 'X' (formerly known as Twitter), Musk announced that the match will be streamed live on his platform, with all revenue generated from the event going to be transferred to a charity that supports veterans.
While Mark Zuckerberg has yet to respond to Musk's confirmation of going live on 'X', the founder of Meta has previously agreed to take on his business rival. Just a few days ago, in response to a McDonald's post on Threads asking if anyone would like something on their menu, Zuckerberg humorously replied: "20 nuggets, a quarter pound, large fries, Oreo McFlurry, apple pie and maybe some cheeseburgers for later?" However, UFC fighter Mike Davis advised Zuckerberg to avoid McDonald's when training, to which Zuckerberg replied that he needs 4,000 calories a day to maintain his activity levels. The statement caught the attention of UFC President Dana White, who expressed a commitment to making Musk's fight with Zuckerberg a reality. White excitedly predicts that this fight will surpass all previous records, become the biggest fight in history, and break all pay-per-view records. On the other hand, Elon Musk shared in a previous podcast interview with Joe Rogan that he practiced taekwondo, judo, karate as a child and Brazilian jiu-jitsu as an adult. He is said to have a significant weight and height advantage over Mark Zuckerberg.
Adding to the excitement, a recent Instagram post by Zuckerberg showed him posing with popular Ultimate Fighting (UFC) champions Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski. TMZ reports that Zuckerberg underwent extreme training with these two accomplished MMA fighters to prepare for the fight. Both Musk and Zuckerberg have publicly demonstrated their willingness to get into the complex and engage in combat, making it clear that they are fully committed to this on-stage duel.
Zuckerberg even confirmed plans to build an octagonal arena on his property, further fueling the anticipation surrounding the event. As the battle between the tech moguls draws closer, fans stay tuned for more updates and announcements. The clash between two of the world's most influential figures is considered a historic event, attracting the attention of millions of people around the world.Â
