Elon Musk leaks private messages with Mark Zuckerberg on $1bn ‘super’ fight
The CEO of X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, Monday, leaked his private messages with his tech rival, Mark Zuckerberg persuading him to get serious over their proposed $1 billion super fight or move on.
According to Daily Mail, Zuckerberg and Musk appeared set to battle it out when the latter tweeted that he was ‘up for a cage fight’ with his fellow billionaire, who responded by saying, ‘Send me location’.
UFC president Dana White later confirmed that both men were indeed ‘serious’ about making an MMA showdown he is predicting would generate over $1bn in revenue happen at some stage this year.
White also revealed last week that he had been in talks with the Italian Minister of Culture to discuss staging Zuckerberg vs. Musk at the famous Colosseum in Rome – one of the seven wonders of the world.
However, Zuckerberg is now expressing doubts over the fight taking place after writing in a post on his new social-media site Threads, ‘If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me’.
Over the weekend, Musk also leaked a screenshot of his private messages with Zuckerberg, who reacted negatively to a request for a ‘practice bout’ at his mansion in Palo Alto.
Zuckerberg built an Octagon at the property earlier this month in preparation for his potential clash with Musk, leaving his wife Priscilla Chan furious.
