Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), is ready to move on from his impending fight with Elon Musk. In a public statement shared on Threads and his Instagram Story, Zuckerberg expressed his belief that Musk is not taking the fight seriously. He stated, “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.”
Zuckerberg emphasized that if Musk ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach him. Otherwise, Zuckerberg has decided to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously. These remarks come in response to Musk’s recent comments on Twitter, where he announced that the fight would be managed by their respective foundations instead of the UFC, which Zuckerberg was not in favor of.
Musk tweeted, “When I compete, I want to do it in a way that puts a spotlight on the elite athletes at the top of the game. You do that by working with professional orgs like the UFC or ONE to pull this off well and create a great card.” Despite Zuckerberg’s reservations, Musk shared that the fight would be livestreamed on Twitter and Meta.
In an interesting twist, Musk also claimed that the fight would take place in an epic location reminiscent of ancient Rome. He tweeted, “Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.” Musk even mentioned speaking to the Prime Minister of Italy and the Minister of Culture, stating that they had agreed on the location. However, Italy’s culture minister clarified that while he had a “long, friendly” conversation with Musk about hosting the fight, it would not be held in Rome.
