Elon Musk shares additional details for Zuck vs Musk cage fight 

The most recent update in the Musk vs Zuck showdown arrives after several months of anticipation surrounding this major event of the century. Back in June, Musk and Zuckerberg reached an agreement to engage in a 'cage match' fight. Zuckerberg, known for his mixed martial arts training and even the participation in his first jiu-jitsu tournament earlier this year, brings a certain level of combat expertise. In contrast, Musk has taken a different approach, sharing his preparation for the bout through weightlifting updates on X.

Musk has offered some new details over the Elon vs Mark fight, and it looks like the fight could have a date soon. "The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC). Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all. I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location," Musk said on 'X'.

Zuck vs Musk fight is now official

Last week, Elon Musk tweeted that his potential cage fight with Zuckerberg would be live-streamed on 'X', formerly known as Twitter, and the proceedings from the match would go to charity for veterans. The Facebook founder took to his latest venture - Threads, and responded by saying, “Shouldn’t we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a history of making announcements regarding the highly-anticipated match that he hasn't always followed through on, so there's no absolute certainty that the clash between these two tech moguls will indeed materialize. Musk's tweets consistently attract attention, even though some of his past statements have not happened as initially stated.
