In a surprising turn of events, Tesla and X owner Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg are contemplating the idea of a “noble” debate instead of the much-discussed cage match. The suggestion was made on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, where a post proposed the unconventional idea of a cage match debate. To this, Musk responded positively, stating, “That sounds like a good idea too.”
Musk expressed his perspective on the matter, emphasizing the concept of a “noble sport.” He conveyed his intention to appreciate those who have fought for noble causes in the past, exuding a sense of humility in his message. The conversation regarding a potential face-off between the two tech titans began back in June, when Musk playfully stated his willingness to engage in a cage match if Zuckerberg was on board. Zuckerberg’s response, “Send Me Location,” shared through an Instagram story, further ignited the speculation.
In the ensuing weeks, both Musk and Zuckerberg have continued to engage in light-hearted banter on social media, teasing the possibility of the much-hyped cage fight. Musk revealed that, if it were to happen, the event would be live-streamed on X, with all proceeds earmarked for charity, specifically benefiting veterans. Zuckerberg, however, took a playful jab at the proposal, questioning the choice of platform and its ability to effectively raise funds for charity.
While Musk initially challenged Zuckerberg and proposed a date of August 26th for the event, the actual date remains uncertain. Zuckerberg, meanwhile, indicated a hint of skepticism, stating he was “not holding [his] breath” for the fight to materialize. Despite the uncertainty, Zuckerberg humorously asserted his commitment to the sport, indicating his willingness to continue competing with those who are dedicated to training.
Musk provided an update on the situation, revealing that the exact date of the cage fight is still uncertain due to a potential surgery requirement. He mentioned that he was scheduled to undergo an MRI of his neck and upper back, though no further details were shared regarding his medical condition. As the suspense continues to build, the tech world eagerly awaits the resolution of this unique and unexpected showdown between two of its most prominent figures.
