Musk "Zuckerberg Duel to be Live-Streamed on SNS 'X'"
Zuckerberg "Proposed on the 26th but No Confirmation Yet"

The possibility of a martial arts showdown between Mark Zuckerberg, the head of global IT company Meta, and Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is increasing. In response to Musk's frequent provocations, Zuckerberg even mentioned a specific date: 'August 26.'


On the 6th (local time), Zuckerberg posted on his Threads account, "I’m ready to fight today as well. When Musk first provoked me, I suggested August 26, but he didn’t confirm it."


Earlier, Musk revealed that he has been training physically, including lifting weights, in preparation for the fight. He tweeted on X (formerly Twitter), "I’m lifting weights all day and getting ready to fight," adding, "I don’t have time to work out, so I brought the weights to the workplace."


Musk also said, "The Zuckerberg vs. Musk fight will be broadcast live on X," and added, "All proceeds will go to charities for veterans."

The controversy over a martial arts fight between these two of the world’s wealthiest individuals began in June. When a Twitter user asked Musk, "Will Threads become a rival to Twitter?" Musk responded with a sarcastic tweet saying, "I’m scared to death."


When another user warned, "Zuckerberg does jiu-jitsu, be careful," Musk replied, "I’m ready to fight." Upon hearing this, Zuckerberg responded, "Send me your location," to which Musk answered, "Las Vegas Octagon (MMA arena)."


In fact, last month Zuckerberg posted photos of himself training with UFC champions, sparking speculation that he is preparing for a martial arts fight with Musk.


Meanwhile, it is uncertain who would have the advantage if the two actually faced off. Musk, who is relatively older at 51, is a large man standing 190 cm tall. In contrast, 39-year-old Zuckerberg is in the early 170 cm range.



However, considering Zuckerberg’s honed jiu-jitsu skills and younger age, some predict that despite the physical disadvantage, Zuckerberg could have the upper hand.
