Musk continues to play for time.
Billionaire Elon Musk continues to fuel public interest in duel with the owner of the Meta company, although few people already believe that he take place, including Mark Zuckerberg. Over the weekend, Elon Musk announced that agreed with the Prime Minister and Minister of Culture of Italy to hold fight in an "epic" place. According to Musk, the Italian authorities gave the green light to fight in the Colosseum. All proceeds from the show will go to to help Italian pensioners and children's hospitals. In the Colosseum itself for the safety of spectators will not be.
The fight will be organized by my foundation and the Zuckerberg foundation (not UFC). The livestream will be on this platform and on Meta. All in frame will be Ancient Rome, so nothing modern. I talked to Prime Minister of Italy and Minister of Culture. They agreed to organizing a battle in an epic place. Everyone during this fight will pay tribute to the past and present of Italy. And all the proceeds funds go to veterans
It is noteworthy that today Elon Musk published a correspondence with Zuckerberg, in which he reproaches the owner of SpaceX for being frivolous attitude to sport and calls either to set a date for the fight, or stop spreading the word about things that will never happen. Musk but, in his sly manner, invited Zuckerberg to fight today, in Monday, in the courtyard of his house, where the octagon is installed.
Automatic translation of a conversation between two billionaires.
Musk challenged Zuckerberg to face off in the ring at the end June. This is how he reacted to the news about Zuckerberg's plans to launch Twitter's competitor is the Threads app. The Meta owner accepted the challenge and declared that he was ready to fight at any moment. After that, Musk began to look suitable for the "battle of the century" place. At first it was the main ring of the UFC The Octagon, located in Las Vegas. Having received approval from the head of the fighting organizations, Musk for some reason changed his mind and decided to arrange a fight in the Colosseum.
