Looks like the Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg fight is back on track again. After the initial outburst from both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the fight was thought to be a gimmick with no probability of happening in real life. However, a recent conversation between the Meta CEO and Tesla Boss has given the dubbed ‘Fight of the Century’ new life.
Both Mark and Musk have been silent after the initial conversation about the fight, but in a recent tweet, Elon Musk has made his intentions crystal clear that he is not backing down from the challenge. He stated that the fight will happen 100%, and he is preparing for it with full dedication. He even shared a glimpse of his training in one of his live Twitter videos.

All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.” Both Elon and Zuck have confirmed that the earnings from the fight will be donated to charities, but it is the first time Elon has confirmed that the fight will be live-streamed on 𝕏.

In a different tweet, Musk talked about how he has been preparing for the fight. He said, “I am lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight. Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work.”

One of the Twitter users named Daniella Souza asked Musk what his motivation for the fight was, to which he replied, “It’s a civilized form of war. Men love war.”

Mark Zuckerberg Has A Corny Reply To Musk’s Proposal
After Musk suggested that the fight will be live-streamed on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), Zuckerberg was quick to respond with a pun. He said, “Shouldn’t we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?” It was a clear dig at Twitter’s current financial trouble and platform struggles to find advertisers to stay afloat.

Zuckerberg didn’t stop there; he went ahead and said, “I’m ready today. I suggested Aug 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn’t confirmed. Not holding my breath.” Zuck is clearly stating that he is ready on a day’s notice, but it seems like Elon Musk needs more prep time to make it a fair fight.
