🚨JUST IN: Is Zuckerberg Cancelling His Fight with Musk?
The impression we're getting from Mark Zuckerberg is that he's considering ending the highly anticipated fight with Elon.
Zuck used his defunct Meta clone app to express, "I believe we can all acknowledge that Elon isn't genuinely committed, and it's time to move forward. I proposed a genuine date. Dana White offered to transform this into a legitimate charity competition. Elon hasn't confirmed a date, first claiming the need for surgery, and now suggesting a practice round in my backyard."
It appears Zuck is setting the stage to justify discontinuing the fight.
"If Elon ever becomes genuinely interested in a real date and an official event, he knows how to contact me. Otherwise, it's time to move on. I'm going to focus on competing with individuals who approach the sport seriously."
On the other hand, nothing Musk has said indicates he's trying to back out of the fight.
In fact, @ElonMusk's private conversation with Zuck, which Musk shared with Walter Isaacson earlier today, suggests that Musk was either teasing or simply seeking training.
WHAT MUSK TOLD ZUCK
Musk: "How about a practice bout at your place next week?"
Zuck: "If you're still committed to a genuine MMA fight, then you should train on your own and let me know when you're prepared to compete. I don't want to keep hyping something that will never materialize, so you should either decide to commit to this and do it soon, or we should move on."
Musk: "I'll be in Palo Alto on Monday. Let's fight in your Octagon. I haven't been practicing much, except for a brief bout with Lex Fridman today. While I believe it is…"
WHY MUSK NEEDS TIME
Zuck knew full well, just as everyone else, that Musk had a fight with a Sumo wrestler 8 years ago, resulting in damage to his C5/C6 spinal cord discs. Is Zuck trying to RUSH THE FIGHT for that reason?
Just 2 days ago, Musk confirmed that “there is a problem with my right shoulder blade rubbing against my ribs, which requires minor surgery. Recovery will only take a few months.”
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
Does anyone interpret Elon’s comments as suggesting he wants to cancel the fight?
Or is Zuck looking for an excuse to end the fight?
If so, why?
