Musk alsoĀ said that he has been “lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight” and because he doesn’t “have time to workout” he is bringing the weights to work.
Musk hadĀ tweetedĀ in June, “Iām up for a cage match if he is lol,” in response to news that Meta would release Threads as a rival platform to X, then known as Twitter.
ZuckerbergĀ agreedĀ to the challenge by asking Musk to send him a location for the fight.
Musk said the fight would be held in theĀ Ultimate Fighting Championship octagon inĀ Las Vegas, Nevada.
It is unclear whether a date has been scheduled. It is also unclear what veterans’ charity the proceeds will go to.
