Both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg claim to be up for a cage match.

On Threads, Zuckerberg wrote, I'm ready today. I uploaded a screenshot of Musk's post about training weights to be ready for the battle. When he originally challenged, I proposed August 26; however, he hasn't confirmed. I won't hold my breath.

Musk had previously said that the battle would be live-streamed on X with all earnings going to a veterans' organization.

Who would really prevail in a cage match, though, is still an open question. Musk is physically larger than Zuckerberg, but the CEO of Meta practices the Brazilian martial art of jiu-jitsu and recently took home gold and silver in a competition.

Regarding Zuckerberg's remarks, Musk said that the precise date of the cage match is still in flux". NEWS: Zuck states he is ready to fight this month but has not heard back from @elonmusk, a user on X said. Exact date is still in flux, Musk retorted. Tomorrow, I'll get an MRI of my neck and upper back. It could be necessary to get surgery before the battle. I'll find out this week.

He said in response to another post, "If the battle is brief, I probably win. If the race is prolonged, endurance may be his winning factor.
