Billionaire Elon Musk has finally revealed the platform that will host the historic cage fight between him and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. A few months ago, if someone had floated the idea that two of the richest men on the planet would fight inside a cage to settle their differences, people would have passed it off completely. However, fortunately enough, we live in a funny world.
The Tesla boss took to his micro-blogging platform, ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), to announce that the fight between the two is set to be live-streamed on the ‘X’, and all the proceeds will be donated to charity for veterans.
Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on 𝕏.
All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.

On the same day, Musk also revealed that he was lifting weights all day to prepare for the fight. Obviously, fans went crazy after this huge announcement as Musk and Zuckerberg have been involved in online banters for the last couple of months. Things got serious after Meta launched a platform called Threads which is a direct competition to Musk’s Twitter (now X).
It’s kind of crazy that it all started with a tweet by Musk which read, “up for a cage fight”. The Facebook head took not time to retaliate with , “send me location”. While, ‘X’ has been announced to stream the fight, there is no confirmation regarding the exact date of the event yet.
Mark Zuckerberg’s MMA obsession makes wife unhappy
Tech entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg has been really interested in MMA in the recent past and has shared his love for the fight game several times on the internet. Not a long ago, he participated in a Jiu Jitsu tournament and also won a tournament. A few days after that, he was seen training with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.

Now, the businessman has revealed that he has built an Octagon in his backyard. He shared a screenshot of a chat with his wife where he wrote, “Did you see the octagon I put in the backyard?”. His wife, Priscilla Chan, replied, “Yes, I saw it.”
Zuck might have gotten the hint that his wife is not too thrilled by this decision of his, so he justified his move by saying, “We have plenty of yard space”. Chan was clearly not buying this and said, “I have been working on that grass for two years”
Some fans opined that Zuckerberg, the head of Facebook and Instagram, obviously has a big enough backyard to build an Octagon. Some fans even thought that his obsession with MMA might cause problems in his personal life. What do you think about the ‘Battle of the Billionaires’ and Mark’s enthusiasm with MMA?
