Elon Musk assures that he will fight with Mark Zuckerberg and that the fight will be in Italy

After a series of provocations, responses and changes of direction, Elon Musk has ratified that the expected fight with mark zuckerberg It will be carried out. The confirmation was made through a tweet where he not only confirmed the matchup, but also provided crucial details about his organization, place and how the live broadcast will be.

The long-awaited combat can be witnessed in real time both on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) and on Twitter (now known simply as X). Despite Zuckerberg’s earlier taunts about the need for a trusted platform for donations to charities, both businessmen have agreed to broadcast the fight on both networks.

Likewise, Musk has clarified that the management of the confrontation will be carried out through their respective non-profit foundations, as opposed to the UFC, the leading company in mixed martial arts worldwide, although until recently, Dana White, president of the UFC, was mediating between the two billionaires.

The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).

Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.

I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.

The fate of this epic contest has also been confirmed: will take place in Italy. Musk has held talks with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano. “Everything that will appear on camera [además de ambos multimillonarios] It will be ancient Rome, without modern elements”Musk says. The country had previously offered the Colosseum as the venue for the battle.

The nobility of the act is not limited to its stage, as Musk has claimed that all profits generated from the broadcast will be donated to charities supporting war veterans, presumably in the United States.

Although there is no official date for the event yet, Mark Zuckerberg suggested August 26 as a possible day, however Musk has not responded yet.

The rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg originated as apparent jokes that later turned into serious challenges. Musk accused Zuckerberg of copying Threads and proposed a match in a mixed martial arts (MMA) cage. Zuckerberg agreed, and ever since, we’ve witnessed a peculiar ego show between the two leaders.

The controversy has continued with Musk proposing measuring contests, while his mother begged to avoid the fight. Zuckerberg even posted a shirtless photo as a tease. Although Musk seemed hesitant recently, it looks like the fight will finally take place. A grotesque show that arouses curiosity and attracts attention, although both protagonists face different challenges in terms of physical preparation.

Zuckerberg, with a background in jiu-jitsu, has exhibited remarkable training and achievements in this practice. For his part, Musk acknowledges taking weights to work due to a lack of time to exercise. With this uneven combination of skills and a pending physical matchup, the highly anticipated fight promises to keep the audience on edge until its execution.
