Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has claimed that X (Twitter) owner Elon Musk hasn’t agreed to fight later this month, saying he is “ready today” but “not holding his breath” as the wait for his opponent to agree a date continues.
The feud started in June when Elon Musk responded to a tweet about Facebook’s new app Threads, in which a user jokingly said to Musk he “better be careful” because Zuckerberg does Jujutsu, a Japanese martial art for close combat.
In response, Musk said “I’m up for a cage match if he is,” to which Zuckerberg took a screenshot of the tweet and uploaded it to Instagram, where he applied an overlay saying “Send Me Location.”
Musk then responded to the Instagram post on Twitter, saying “If this is for real, I will do it.”
Since then, official plans to host a fight are yet to materialize, with the two just going back and forth at each other on social media. However, it seems that Zuckerberg is waiting on Musk to confirm a date.
On Sunday afternoon, Zuckerberg posted on Threads saying he is “ready today” and that he proposed August 26 for a fight date when Musk first challenged him.
“I suggested Aug 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn’t confirmed. Not holding my breath,” Zuckerberg wrote.
