Elon Musk said in a social media post that his proposed cage fight with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be live-streamed on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
The two social media moguls have been egging each other on for a mixed martial arts cage match in Las Vegas since June.
“Zack vs. Musk will be live on X. All proceeds will go to veterans charities,” Musk posted on X early Sunday morning, without revealing any further details.
The battle between Zack and Musk will be live on 𝕏.
All proceeds will go to veterans charities.

Earlier on Sunday, Musk said on X that he had “lifted weights all day in preparation for the fight,” adding that he didn’t have time to work out, so he brought weights to work.
When a user on X asked Musk what the battle meant, Musk replied “It’s a civilized form of war. Men love war.”
Meta did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment on Musk’s post.
The uproar started when Musk said in a June 20 post that he was preparing to “play a cage match” with Zuckerberg, who had trained in jiu-jitsu.
A day later, when Zuckerberg, 39, posted a photo of his winning contest on the company’s Instagram platform, he asked Musk, 51, to “send a proposed fall location,” to which Musk replied “Vegas 8 Angle” refers to the center of activity where mixed martial arts (MMA) championships are held.
Musk later said that if the cage fight took shape, he would start training.
