Elon Musk said in a social media post that
his proposed cage fight with Meta (META.O) CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be
live-streamed on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Zuck v Musk fight will be
live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans," Musk
said in a post on X early on Sunday morning, without giving any further
details.
Earlier on Sunday, Musk had said on X that
he was "lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight",
adding that he did not have time to work out so he brings the weights to work.
When a user on X asked Musk the point of
the fight, Musk responded by saying "It's a civilized form of war. Men
love war."
The brouhaha began when Musk said in a June
20 post that he was "up for a cage match" with Zuckerberg, who is
trained in jiujitsu.
A day later, Zuckerberg, 39, who has posted
pictures of matches he has won on his company's Instagram platform, asked Musk,
51, to "send location" for the proposed fight.
Musk replied "Vegas Octagon",
referring to an events center where mixed martial arts (MMA) championship bouts
are held.
Musk then said he will start training if
the cage fight takes shape.
