Aug 15 – While Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s cage battle remains a mystery, the Tesla CEO stated on Tuesday that he wanted to show up unannounced at Meta CEO’s home to fight.
However, a Meta spokeswoman claimed in a statement that Zuckerberg is now travelling and is not in Palo Alto, California.
“Also, Zuckerberg takes this sport seriously and isn’t going to fight someone who randomly shows up at his house,” the spokesperson added.
Musk reacted: “There was some hasty bag packing at the Zuckerberg residence today!”
Despite Musk’s repeated remarks, Zuckerberg has stated that Musk is not serious and that “it’s time to move on.”
“For the Tesla FSD test drive in Palo Alto tonight, I will ask the car to drive to @finkd’s house. Will also test the latest X livestream video, so you can monitor our adventure in real-time,” Musk posted.
“If we get lucky and Zuck actually answers the door, the fight is on,” he added.
Both billionaires had previously spat barbs, with Tesla CEO daring Meta Founder to a fight in his backyard.
“If you still want to do a real MMA fight, then train on your own and let me know when you’re ready to compete,” Zuckerberg allegedly told Musk.
“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 said.
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.”
Later, Zuckerberg stated on Threads that he proposed a genuine date, but Musk refused to confirm it.
