In a surprising turn of events, what was once poised to be the fight of the century between tech moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has been called off. The cancellation came as a result of a firm decision made by none other than Musk’s own mother, Maye Musk, who took to Twitter to confirm the news and express her relief.
Maye Musk responded to a tweet about the fight, stating, “And now the fight has been canceled. Great relief!” This declaration was reiterated when she doubled down, affirming, “Actually, I canceled the fight. I haven’t told them yet. But I will continue to say the fight is canceled, just in case.”
The saga began when Elon Musk openly criticized Zuckerberg’s plans to develop a platform that would rival Twitter. In response to a user warning Musk about Zuckerberg’s proficiency in martial arts, Musk boldly proposed a cage match challenge. Zuckerberg then took to Instagram, requesting Musk to disclose his location. Musk further solidified his commitment to the fight by reiterating his seriousness on Twitter.
The prospect of this clash captured the attention of the combat sports world, with social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul even offering to promote the event. UFC President Dana White went as far as predicting that the potential bout would go down in history as the biggest fight ever.
However, Maye Musk remains resolute in ensuring that the fight remains a mere fantasy. Responding to her son’s tweet, she clarified her stance, stating, “No joking. Fight with words only. In armchairs. 4 feet apart. The funniest person wins.”
