Zuckerberg vs. Musk fight will be live-streamed on X: Zuck suggests using a more “reliable platform”

August 7, 2023  10:04

X (formerly Twitter) will broadcast the fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg live, and the proceeds from the broadcast will go to charity. Elon Musk announced this on his social network.

“Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans,” he wrote.

Zuckerberg doesn't seem to be thrilled with the idea. On his new Threads social network, he replied that they should "use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity." 

The fight between Musk and Zuckerberg can take place in the legendary Roman Colosseum, where billionaires can fight like real gladiators.

However, it should be noted that there is a certain probability that the fight will not take place at all. Zuckerberg recently said that he doubted that the fight would take place. He also wrote that he was ready to fight even today.

I'm ready today. I suggested Aug 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn't confirmed. Not holding my breath," Zuckerberg wrote.

He made this comment in a reply to a post by Elon Musk where he said he was preparing for the fight by "lifting weights."

“Am lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight. Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work,” he wrote.

Musk and Zuckerberg recently took turns working out with famed podcaster and AI researcher Lex Friedman ahead of the fight. From Friedman's posts, it is difficult to understand which of the opponents he considers stronger and who, in his opinion, has a better chance of winning. Many, however, are confident in the victory of Zuckerberg, as he is engaged in jiu-jitsu and is in good physical shape. On the other hand, 51-year-old Elon Musk is taller and heavier than 39-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, and this can give him certain advantages: with a height of 187 cm, Musk weighs about 85 kg, while Zuckerberg, with a height of 171 cm, weighs less than 70 kg.

Musk called Zuckerberg into the ring after Meta announced the development of a Twitter competitor app codenamed Project 92. Zuckerberg accepted the challenge and asked to name the venue for the fight.
