Billionaire Brawl: Elon Musk Revives Threats to Fight Mark Zuckerberg
In a surprise announcement, Elon Musk has reignited talk of a potential cage fight against Mark Zuckerberg, claiming he’s still willing to step into the ring at any time, any place, and any rules. However, the lack of concrete plans suggests that Musk may be more hot air than actual action.
In a video shared by Fox News reporter Kelly Phares, Musk declared, “I’ll fight Zuckerberg any place, any time, any rules,” showcasing shockingly misplaced bravado. Facebook’s CEO responded with a simple, yet skeptical, “Are we really doing this again?”
The two billionaires have been sparring over a potential fight for over a year, with Musk initially proposing a contest in June. However, despite a brief flurry of activity in August, the fight never materialized. Musk’s latest declaration, lacking any concrete details, has many questioning whether he’s truly willing to put his money where his mouth is.
Zuckerberg, a passionate practitioner of mixed martial arts (MMA) for years, has won multiple medals in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) tournaments. In contrast, Musk has reportedly only begun preparing for the fight in July and has previously claimed that his weight, allegedly over 300 pounds, gives him an advantage.
Musk’s past behavior has raised serious doubts about his commitment to the fight. The SpaceX CEO has been known for making bold claims, only to backpedal or change his tone. His latest statement, coupled with Zuckerberg’s skepticism, suggests that this may simply be another example of Musk blowing hot air.
The debate about the potential fight has been marked by Musk’s inconsistencies, with the billionaire first claiming he would fight at a moment’s notice, then citing possible surgery as a reason for delaying, and finally requesting a private practice round with no clear date in sight.
Until both parties can agree on concrete details and actually step into the ring, the billionaire brawl remains just that – a lot of talk without any real action.
