Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made an exciting announcement on Sunday, revealing that he was putting an end to his pursuit of a cage match with fellow social media entrepreneur Elon Musk. In a post on his Threads site, Zuckerberg expressed his belief that it was time to move on, stating, “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.” However, things took an interesting turn when Elon Musk responded by calling Mark Zuckerberg a “chicken” after the Meta founder suggested they “move on” from the fight. Zuckerberg added, “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.”
The decision to end the planning for this epic battle has been anticipated for some time. Rumored to take place in the Colosseum in Italy, among other locations, the revenue from the event would have gone to veterans organizations, according to Musk. Despite the eagerness expressed by both contestants to engage in this war, it seems that it has only resulted in a series of social media exchanges.
