Announced early this year, the "cage fight" between Elon Musk of Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg of Meta experiences some new developments. Musk expressed yesterday (August 6) that the fight will be live-streamed on X, renamed from Twitter, and all proceeds will go to charity for the veterans.
Zuckerberg proclaimed himself well-prepared in response to the news, suggesting the fight be on August 26.
In June, Musk was the first to say that he was willing to fight with Zuckerberg, who trains regularly in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The next day Zuckerberg said that he was willing to take up the challenge, asking Musk to schedule the time and place. Musk then proposed Las Vegas as the location and promised to start systematic training for the fight.
According to US media, the Italian government was willing to provide the Colosseum for the two. However, the Italian Ministry of Culture later dismissed the rumor, and suggested that the two Internet titans shift from fighting martial arts to paperwork (a military fight to a civilian one), something like quizzing each other on Latin or ancient history.
