Elon Musk says his cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg will be streamed on social media site X
- ‘Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X,’ Musk wrote in a post on Sunday on the platform formerly known as Twitter. ‘All proceeds will go to charity for veterans’
- The two tech billionaires seemingly agreed to a ‘cage match’ face-off in late June. Musk said earlier on Sunday he was training for the fight by lifting weights
Elon Musk says his potential in-person fight with Mark Zuckerberg would be streamed on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X,” Musk wrote in a post on Sunday on the platform. “All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.”
Musk said earlier on Sunday he was training for the fight by lifting weights.
“Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work,” Musk wrote.
“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Musk wrote.
Musk’s push to stream the video live on X comes as he aims to turn the platform into a “digital town square”. However, his much-publicised Twitter Spaces kick-off event in May with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announcing his run for US president struggled with technical glitches and a near half-hour delay.
Musk had said the problems were the result of “straining” servers because so many people were trying to listen to the audio-only event. But even at their highest, the number of listeners listed topped around 420,000, far from the millions of viewers that televised presidential announcements attract.
