Mark Zuckerberg pulled out of a proposed fight between he and Tesla owner Elon Musk…but Elon says he did offer a date for the fight.
“I offered a real date. [UFC president] Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity,” Zuckerberg posted on Threads. “Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead,” he continued. “If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me.”

The Facebook CEO added, “I don’t want to keep hyping something that will never happen, so you should either decide you’re going to do this and do it soon, or we should move on.”
After Zuckerberg’s statement, Musk hit X, formerly known as Twitter, to give his side of the story.
“Fight Recap: I joked on X about fighting Zuck Zuck then said “SEND ME LOCATION” Italy graciously offered a Colosseum Zuck declined I suggested his home as “safe space” Tragically, he was ahem “traveling” Is there anywhere he will fight?” he wrote.
