Elon Musk calls Mark Zuckerberg a \u201cchicken\u201d after Meta CEO claims fight isn\u2019t happening Unsplash: Ben Moreland \/ Instagram: zuckMark Zuckerberg called out Elon Musk for not taking their proposed fight seriously, but Musk rejected the insinuation and called the Meta CEO a \u201cchicken\u201d. In a strange turn of events, two of the world\u2019s wealthiest and most influential men are in a battle to discredit one another over a proposed fight that may or may not be happening. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been teasing a mixed martial arts fight in what UFC boss Dana White has claimed would be the biggest pay-per-view event ever, predicting it would make $1 billion in revenue. Zuckerberg, however, seemingly ended the excitement after a post accused Musk of not being \u201cserious\u201d about their fight. Now Musk has clapped back, insinuating it is actually the Meta CEO who is backing down. In his statement, Zuckerberg said that until Musk was serious about confirming an official time and date for their fight, it was \u201ctime to move on\u201d. \u201cElon won\u2019t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead,\u201d Zuckerberg wrote. \u201cI\u2019m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.\u201d Ashley St. Clair, who goes by \u2018stclairashley\u2019 on Twitter, shared a screenshot of Zuckerberg\u2019s post with the brutal caption; \u201cMark Zuckerberg confirms he is absolutely no fun in a painfully boring post on that other app.\u201d And Musk jumped at the chance to join in on the crusade against Zuckerberg, firing back at his would-be opponent. \u201cZuck is a chicken,\u201d Musk captioned his retweet of Ashley\u2019s post. But some users of the platform agreed that Zuckerberg might just have a point. \u201cJust need to give him a date,\u201d one person commented. Another said, \u201cNot sure why you think so. He keeps trying to get a time and you keep postponing. Right?\u201d As of now, it remains a mystery whether or not the fight will play out.
