Elon Musk publicly accepts Mark Zuckerberg fight challenge YouTube: Y Combinator \/ Smart SenseElon Musk has publicly accepted Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s challenge for a mixed martial arts bout after the Facebook founder claimed Musk wasn\u2019t actually \u201cserious\u201d about a fight. The highly-anticipated match between tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg could be officially happening if Musk\u2019s latest X (Twitter) posts are anything to go by. It\u2019s been nearly two months since talks of this proposed fight first surfaced online, with Musk claiming he was \u201cup for\u201d a cage match with Zuckerberg in a viral tweet back in June upon the launch of \u2018Threads.\u2019 Zuckerberg was quick to accept his offer, notably asking him to \u201csend the location\u201d \u2014 but since then, nothing has been confirmed, although Musk was happy to claim their bout was taking place in Italy and would be live streamed on both X and Meta. Elon Musk says \u201cchallenge accepted\u201d to Mark Zuckerberg fight Zuck later claimed that he wasn\u2019t \u201cholding his breath\u201d that their fight would actually happen and claimed that his opponent \u201cwasn\u2019t serious\u201d about their proposed match\u2026 but now, it looks like Musk has turned the tables on his Facebook rival. On August 14, 2023, Musk posted two tweets taking direct aim at Zuckerberg and seemingly accepting his calls for a fight. \u201cKnock, knock\u2026 challenge accepted \u2026 open the door,\u201d Musk wrote, tagging Zuckerberg\u2019s Twitter account. That\u2019s not all; Musk also took the opportunity to troll Zuckerberg, writing in a reply, \u201cThought you might want some tea, so I brought the bags.\u201d Thus far, Zuckerberg has urged fans to exercise caution when believing any of the claims Musk has made about their supposed fight \u2014 but now, it looks like Musk has officially accepted the bout following Zuck\u2019s latest comments. Zuckerberg spokesperson responds to Elon Musk\u2019s \u201cchallenge accepted\u201d tweet A spokesperson for Zuckerberg has since responded to Musk\u2019s tweets, which many netizens have taken to mean that he might be at the Facebook owner\u2019s home. \u201cMark is traveling right now and isn\u2019t in Palo Alto,\u201d the spokesperson said, as told by Verge Editor Alex Heath. \u201cAlso, Mark takes this sport seriously and isn\u2019t going to fight someone who randomly shows up at his house.\u201d Thus far, Zuck himself has yet to issue a response to Elon Musk, but according to the Meta mogul, he\u2019s already been in talks with UFC Prez Dana White about their battle to make it a legitimate competition with proceeds going to charity \u2014 an idea that was proposed by YouTube-boxer Jake Paul not too long ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
