Regrettably, it appears that enthusiasts who wished to see two tech moguls in a physical bout may have to curb their expectations. The much-anticipated cage match between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk might be a no-show, based on exclusive audio material accessed by Reuters. This audio, obtained exclusively by the news outlet, features a markedly fit Zuckerberg addressing Meta employees at a company assembly, hinting that he is “not convinced if things will fall into place.”
Zuckerberg expressed this uncertainty during an internal discussion about Meta’s freshly launched competitor to Twitter, Threads, which has been experiencing some hiccups since its explosive debut.
Zuckerberg did not specifically cancel the fight, but indicated it was doubtful. Fight enthusiasts should, therefore, maintain some optimism. Musk, who harbors a distinctive fondness for the letter “X” surpassing the average person’s love for breathable air, is yet to comment. Given Zuckerberg’s recent fascination with jiu jitsu, Musk might be feeling some relief.
This hyped cage fight was intended to be a dazzling Las Vegas spectacle, with both billionaires vague about the specifics of date and location over the past several weeks. Zuckerberg has been quite serious about the potential fight from the start, eventually convincing Musk, who expressed his readiness for the cage match via tweet, given Zuckerberg’s willingness. Musk also mentioned a “signature move” he dubbed “the walrus”, where he simply lays on his opponent, not engaging in any action.
According to MMA legend and trainer, Alex Volkanovsky, Zuckerberg seemed prepared for the face-off. Musk, on the other hand, while treating the entire scenario lightly, has shown some preparation by accepting a training offer from UFC champion Georges St-Pierre and sparring with podcast host Lex Fridman. When not retweeting (or x-ing?) transphobic content and altering site policies to permit misgendering, that is. Dana White, UFC’s president, also informed journalists that the organization was prepared to help with the event.
