No Time For These Fake Ones!

Zuckerberg ready.

With all the money in the world, these two billionaires could use their money for better uses. Like paying the laid off workers they fired because of their greedy ways.

It appears the much hyped MMA-style fight between Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and X Corp CEO Elon Musk is not happening.

Musk was the one who originally uttered the idea of a cage match into the world in June. Zuckerberg, who has taken up martial arts training and competed in Jiu Jitsu, has seemed game for the fight from the beginning. But since then, the fight hasn’t quite come together, even though Zuckerberg says he suggested an August 26th date for the bout. Given that Musk said Friday that he’ll need “a few months” to recover from minor surgery on his right shoulder blade, we might be waiting awhile for the match to happen, if it does at all.

Musk continues to push the goal post. Zuckerberg confirms that he is not serious and it is a waste of his time to even deal with him. The Meta CEO said he will be waiting but the time is to move on and focus on building Threads.

Musk is riled up over Zuckerberg bringing Threads into the world. While X (formerly known as Twitter) continues to see decline due to its controversial decisions, Threads is developing a new way to make posts viral and is looking to trend topics.

Launched in 2023, Threads became the fastest growing app. It has attracted over 350 million users since it launch.

X continues to reign with 550 million followers.

Like X, Musk isn't serious.

However, X is now a fever swamp of racism, misinformation, propaganda, pornography, spam accounts and Elon Musk. His constant presence on the platform has made it insufferable.

Musk claimed Friday morning that the fight would be livestreamed on X and “Meta,” and that everything you’d see on camera “will be ancient Rome.” Italy’s culture minister promptly indicated in a statement that the planning isn’t as far along as Musk suggests, nor will any event actually be held in Rome. Now Zuckerberg is indicating that the rest of the details are a surprise to him, too.

“I love this sport and I’ve been ready to fight since the day Elon challenged me,” Zuckerberg said. “If he ever agrees on an actual date, you’ll hear it from me. Until then, please assume anything he says has not been agreed on.”

The X platform was also in the news for failure to comply to a court order. The U.S. government slapped a $350,000 fine on X Corp after it failed to deliver on a subpoena issued by a judge. Special prosecutor Jack Smith demanded that Twitter release its findings on Washed Up 45's now reactivated account and the company ignored it.

Musk is under federal watch for that one.
