Ever since the news made its way to the internet, the Zuckerberg and Elon fight has gotten tons of attention. However, one party involved in this fight accuses the other party of delaying the showdown. Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta, has taken to his Threads page to point out Elon’s delay.
According to Zuckerberg, his opponent Elon Musk is yet to agree “on an actual date.” The CEO of Meta also says that he is and has always been ready for the fight. Regardless of how ready Meta’s CEO is, he needs to agree with his opponent on a date.
Because this fight is one that the tech world looks forward to, it’s not going to be a small brawl between friends. There are plans that the fight will stream live, although it’d still be friendly. For these reasons, there is a need for both parties to agree on a date when they’d meet in a cage and settle the months-long question of which of them is stronger.
Details on the supposed cage fight between Zuckerberg and Musk
Back in June, Elon Musk, CEO of X had a brilliant idea to challenge Zuckerberg to a fight. Both men have a major of training and experience in various forms of martial art. Elon had the idea that they both bring their various skills into a cage to determine who’s better fit in combat.
Lots of tech enthusiasts labeled this fight X versus Threads as the two platforms competing with one another. For a fight to hold, there must be a set date when contestants will tackle each other in the ring. This area is becoming a problem for the Zuckerberg and Musk fight, as both parties are yet to agree on a date.
Zuckerberg’s initial suggestion was that the fight takes place on August 26th, which is a few days away. This suggestion became public at the beginning of the month, with Musk kicking against it considering his recent minor surgery. According to X’s CEO, he needs to heal first before getting into the cage with Zuckerberg and showing off his strength.
Elon Musk also took to his Twitter account to share details on the fight. These details include how it’d be live-streamed, its overall style, and much more. According to him, the fight will be Roman-styled, which might sound like some gladiator event in a coliseum.
He goes on to tell the public that he has spoken with the PM of Italy and an epic location is ready. But the Cultural Minister of Italy says that the fight won’t take place in Rome, this points out some lack of planning. Regardless of all this, Musk takes to Twitter again to call out Zuckerberg, hence accepting his challenge.
Meta’s CEO, on his part, says he’s ready, as long as Elon is ready. Does Elon’s recent tweet mean that he’s no longer stalling the fight? Will the Zuckerberg and Elon fight take place on August 26th or at a later date? The answers to these questions will be available in the coming days.
