It seems like it's serious. The announced fight betweenElon Musk andMark Zuckerberg will be broadcast on X, according to what the owner of the platform formerly known as Twitter said this Sunday.
The South African billionaire claimed that he was "lifting weights all day, preparing for the fight" with the creator and owner of Facebook. He also assured that "all profits will go to charities for veterans."
Zuckerberg, for his part, accepted the pugilistic challenge, but launched a publicity blow at Musk, answering him through the new Twitter competitor created by Meta.
"Shouldn't we use a more trusted platform that can actually raise money for charity?" Zuckerberg asked viaThreads.
And he added: “I am ready today. I suggested August 26 when (Musk) first challenged, but he hasn't confirmed it. "My pulse doesn't tremble."
In June, the two Big Tech billionaires apparently agreed to participate in a cage fight, according toCNN Business. At the moment, the challenger (Musk) has not provided more details about the fight.
