Elon Musk has reiterated his desire to fight Mark Zuckerberg in an MMA fight after the latter claimed that the CEO of Tesla was not serious.
Speculation over a fight first emerged when Musk claimed he was open to a cage fight following reports that Zuckerberg was creating a rival to X, formerly known as Twitter. And since then, Zuckerberg has established Threads. Thereafter, Zuckerberg called for a location as the Colosseum, Rome, was considered. So much so that even Dana White talked up the possibility of the fight. And yet, Zuckerberg distanced himself from the fight as he questioned Musk’s desire.

“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. If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously,” Zuckerberg said
Despite this being the case, Musk has now doubled down on his desire to face Zuck. And Musk put the ball in Zuckerberg’s court and dismissed any suggestions that he was ducking during an interview with Joe Rogan.

“He accused me of not being serious, and I said, ‘Listen, at the end of the day, I’ll fight you any place, anywhere, under any rules. That’s what I said. He said name the place. I’m happy to fight him in a house, on a mouse, with a louse we’d like, go full Doctor Seuss here. I’m a way bigger than him. This is unfair. I don’t think he should fight me,” Musk
