Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been talking about having a “cage fight” for over a month now, and the Tesla CEO just took to his platform X to inform followers that the fight will take place in Rome.
Musk in his post described the location as an “epic location.” He also stated that it will be streamed live on both Meta and X.

“The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC). Livestream will be on this platform and Meta.
“Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all. I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location,” Musk said.

This comes after the Tesla boss revealed days ago that all proceeds from the fight will go to charity for veterans.
In a previous post on X last week, Elon Musk said that he was “lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight”, adding that he did not have time to work out so he took the weights to work.
Replying to the post, Mark Zuckerberg said that he is “not holding his breath” over the proposed cage fight with Elon, as he revealed that he had suggested a date of 26 August for the contest.
“I’m ready today. I suggested August 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn’t confirmed,” Mr Zuckerberg wrote in the reply, adding, “Not holding my breath”.

This whole fight talk started when Elon tweeted that he’d be up for a cage match with Mark, who has studied jiujitsu.
The following day, Mark requested that Elon send a location for the fight. The X boss responded ‘Vegas Octagon’, a Las Vegas arena where mixed martial arts (MMA) championship matches are staged.
