Elon Musk has announced that his potential fight with Mark Zuckerberg will be broadcast on his social networking site X, formerly known as Twitter.
Musk wrote on the platform: “Zack vs Mask fight will be shown live via the X application … All proceeds will go to charity for veterans,” reports Al-Rai daily.
Earlier, Musk said on the same platform that he “lifts weights throughout the day, preparing for a fight,” adding that he did not have time to exercise, so he works on lifting weights.
When a user on “X” asked him about the purpose of the fighting, he replied, “It is a civilized form of war. Men love war.
The uproar began when Musk said in a post dated June 20 that he was “ready for a cage match” with Zuckerberg, who trained in jiu-jitsu, after disagreements recently arose between the two over “Threads”, which was launched by Meta to be a competitor to the X platform.
Musk accused Zuckerberg at the time of plagiarism, and said that the conflict between them had become personal, hinting at a personal fight. He added that Zuckerberg’s challenge to the fight still stands: “See you in the ring.”
A day later, Zuckerberg, 39, who posted pictures of the matches he won on the Instagram platform of his company Meta, asked Musk, 51, to “send a location” for the proposed meeting, to which Musk replied with “Vegas Octagon”, referring to the event center where the mixed martial arts (MMA) championship competitions are held.
The expected battle caused a great stir during the last period, which resulted in the design of several pictures of the two in a state of confrontation, and it is not yet known whether it will really happen or is it just a joke.
Musk promises to compensate those affected by the publication on “X”
Elon Musk pledged that his “X” company would pay for legal services for employees who had problems with their employers because of their posts on the platform.
Users, including many celebrities and people well known in the public arena, have faced problems with employers over controversial posts they posted, liked or retweeted on the platform, which was formerly called “Twitter”.
“If your employer treats you unfairly for posting something on this platform, we will pay for your legal bill,” Musk wrote on the site, without giving details about how users obtained the money.
