Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and SpaceX, appears to be fully committed to the idea of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.
While it’s hard to determine if Musk is entirely serious, he recently shared his plans for the potential fight.
According to Musk, both he and Zuckerberg have agreed to have their respective foundations manage the fight, which will be livestreamed on both X and Meta platforms.
To host the fight, Musk has reached out to the Prime Minister of Italy and the Minister of Culture in order to secure the iconic Colosseum in Rome as the venue.
The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).
Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.
I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.

And all proceeds go to veterans

The event will have an Ancient Roman theme and will go without any modern technology shown on screen.
Musk intends to pay tribute to “the past and present of Italy” and donate all proceeds to veterans.
Although UFC president Dana White has expressed interest in arranging the fight, it seems unlikely that the UFC will secure exclusive pay-per-view rights.
However, the company is expected to be heavily involved.
It’s almost expected that Joe Rogan, the UFC commentator and podcast host, will be chosen to provide commentary for the fight if and when it takes place.
What a time to be alive.
