Musk Says Fight Vs. Zuck ‘Will Be Streamed On X,’ However He May Need Surgery

Elon Musk has once again gotten MMA fans talking by stating that a potential cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg will be streamed live on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

The two billionaires first hinted at the idea of a fight during an exchange on Twitter after reports that Zuckerberg was considering setting up an alternative to Twitter.

Thereafter, Musk suggested he was open to a fight as Zuckerberg demanded a location. Since then, Jon Jones made the offer to train Zuckerberg, while St George Pierre did the same for Musk.

And now the network issue appears to be resolved. 

Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on 𝕏.

All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.

Such a move will no doubt do wonders for Musk and Zuckerberg. The former will attract more eyes to Twitter, while the latter has the chance to claim bragging rights by getting one over Elon. 

And yet, any prospective fight may have to wait. Musk confirmed that he will undergo an MRI scan on his back to determine if he needs surgery.

The Tesla CEO previously spoke about suffering ‘mega back pain’ following a bout against a sumo wrestler.

But provided that any such surgery goes ahead as normal, the fans on social media were keen on seeing this fight happen.
