Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is allegedly “not serious,” according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who claims he is moving past the rumored cage match.
The co-founder of Facebook claimed that after failing to reach an agreement on a date for the highly anticipated fight, his tech billionaire rival did not seem to want to proceed.
It comes after months of back and forth between the two ever since Musk, 52, first proposed the idea, only for Zuckerberg, 39, to surprisingly respond that he was ready to engage his rival.
On Sunday, he contrasted that, writing on the social media site Threads: “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on.
I proposed a real date. The UFC president, Dana White, offered to turn this into a legitimate charity contest.
Elon refuses to confirm a date, then claims to need surgery before asking to practice in my backyard.
Elon knows how to get in touch with me if he ever wants to set up a real date and official event. Otherwise, it’s time to move on. I’m going to concentrate on competing against athletes who are serious about their sport. “.
The owner of Twitter, whom he has renamed X, Elon Musk, seemed to imply that the fight would take place in an “epic location” in Italy.
He claimed to have spoken to Giorgia Meloni, the prime minister of Italy, and provided details about streaming options and an ancient location for the proposed event.
A screenshot of a text exchange between the two men was shared by Musk on Twitter on Sunday, August 13.
Mr. Zuckerberg allegedly wrote in the post: “If you still want to do a genuine MMA [mixed martial arts] fight, then you should train on your own and let me know when you’re ready to compete.
“Either you decide you’re going to do this and do it soon, or we should move on.
I don’t want to keep hyping something that will never happen.
“.
On Monday, I’ll be in Palo Alto, Mr. Musk retorted. Let’s fight in your Octagon.
“I haven’t been working out very much. Although I believe it is highly unlikely given our size disparity, maybe you are a modern-day Bruce Lee and will manage to prevail.
