Elon Musk says he may need to get surgery before a proposed cage match with Mark Zuckerberg. "I'm getting an MRI of my neck and upper back tomorrow," Musk wrote Sunday night. "May require surgery before the fight can happen. Will know this week."
The two tech billionaires agreed to an in-person face-off in late June. Musk and Zuckerberg have continued to fuel interest in the match through online jabs at one another—most recently on Sunday, when Musk said the fight would be live-streamed on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.
Musk added that the fight's proceeds would go to a charity for veterans. On his Threads social media account, Zuckerberg responded: "Shouldn't we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?" In a follow-up post, Zuckerberg said he wasn't "holding his breath" for the fight to actually happen.
Elon Musk is mulling the idea of having a "noble debate" instead of a cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg. Musk responded to a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that suggested the idea, to which Musk said, "That sounds like a good idea too."
That said, Musk is over 50, with no skills; against someone younger, in good shape, and who has been training seriously 3 years. The little Zucker has some limited, but legit skills. True, Musk is 4 weight classes higher.

I say this thing is a glorified processional wrestling work.
Bet you they're in contact planning out the details. No way they'd do a death match for reals, it's dumb.

Zuckerberg is sick of the runaround, and told Musk that it is time for him to put up or shut up:
"If you still want to do a real MMA fight, then you should train on your own and let me know when you're ready to compete. I don't want to keep hyping something that will never happen, so you should either decide you're going to do this, and do it soon, or we should move on."
