In an interesting turn of events in the?Elon?Musk-Mark Zuckerberg ¡®cage fight¡¯, both tech leaders again entered an indirect war of words.?Initially, Zuckerberg posted on Instagram story, ¡°Send me [the] location¡± along with the screenshot of?Musk¡¯s tweet where he had first challenged the Meta owner.
Responding to this, the X-owner accused Zuckerberg of apparently not accepting the challenge.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter),?Musk?stated,?¡°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 ¡°travelling",?Is there anywhere he will fight?¡±
Earlier on Sunday, Zuckerberg in a post, gave the impression that he has backed off from the fight.?In a post on Threads, he said that he was going to "focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously".
"I think we can all agree?Elon?isn't serious and it's time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity.?Elon?won't confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead," he said in the post.
