The hypothetical fight that will face the owner of twitter, Elon Muskand the executive director of Meta, mark zuckerbergwill be held in “an epic location” of Italy after an agreement of the also owner of Tesla with the Italian government.
“Everything that appears on camera will be from ancient Rome, so nothing modern. I spoke with the Prime Minister of Italy and the Minister of Culture. They’ve agreed on an epic location.” Musk said in a message posted this Friday on Twitter.
Whatever is done, he added, “will pay respect to the past and present of Italy” and all proceeds from the event will go “to the veterans”added the eccentric billionaire, who did not confirm if that place will be the Roman Colosseum, as suggested in previous messages.
The possible fight, the veracity of which is still up in the air, will be managed by his and Zuckerberg’s foundation and not by the mixed martial arts company Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), he said.
It will be broadcast live both on Twitter and on the Meta platforms (owner of Facebook, Messenger and Instagram, among others).
In June, the two billionaires – faced by the leadership in the digital world – agreed to fight through a series of publications on the social networks of their respective platforms and even Musk went so far as to mention that this fight could take place in Las Vegas or in the Colosseum in Rome.
However, it has never been entirely clear if it was all a joke or if the opponents were being serious.
Musk, 52, has been training with Lex Fridman, a computer scientist passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and with UFC champion George St-Pierre.
For his part, Zuckerberg, 39, and executive director of Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads), has come to win MMA fights and recently shared on his networks that he has installed an octagonal ring in his garden.
However, Musk explained a few days ago that the fight was “in the air” because he needs to pass a medical test for back pain that could require surgery.
In another message posted today, the billionaire explained that he spent 3 hours in an MRI machine on Monday and that the fusion of two of his vertebrae is “solid” although for “a problem” on his shoulder blade will have to undergo a “minor surgery”
“Recovery will only take a few months”he explained, without referring to whether the clash between the two tech moguls will have to be delayed until then.
