Elon Musk's Cage Fight With Zuckerberg Will Be Livestreamed On Meta, Venue: Italy

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, never fails to keep us guessing. He recently hinted that his proposed cage match with Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Meta, might just happen in Italy.

In a series of posts on X (formerly known as Twitter), Musk revealed that he's been in communication with Italy's prime minister and minister of culture to discuss the possibility of hosting the event.

"The fight will be organized through our foundations, not UFC. The live stream will be available on this platform as well as Meta. The entire scene within the camera frame will reflect ancient Rome, embracing a completely non-modern atmosphere. I've conversed with Italy's Prime Minister and Minister of Culture, and we've agreed upon an awe-inspiring location. Every aspect of this endeavor will pay homage to Italy's rich past and vibrant present. And all proceeds will be dedicated to supporting veterans," Musk wrote.

However, despite Musk's recent assertion that the cage match will be set in "ancient Rome," Gennaro Sangiuliano, Italy's Minister of Culture, stated that such an event won't be held in Rome, as reported by Variety.

"I had a lengthy and friendly conversation with Elon Musk," Sangiuliano stated in a released statement (translated by Google). "We discussed our shared passion for the history of ancient Rome. We are contemplating how to organize a significant charitable and historical reenactment event, while fully respecting and safeguarding the sites. But it won't take place in Rome." Sangiuliano had previously mentioned that a Musk-Zuck fight couldn't be hosted at Rome's Colosseum due to ongoing maintenance.

It's worth noting that these tech moguls agreed to a "cage match" showdown back in late June. It all started with a tweet from Musk, expressing his openness to a cage match with Zuckerberg, who happens to be trained in jiujitsu.
