Elon Musk may require surgery before the ultimate UFC-style fight with Mark Zuckerberg 

Exact date is still in flux. I’m getting an MRI of my neck & upper back tomorrow. May require surgery before the fight can happen. Will know this week.

Musk appears to be in a health crisis and is awaiting surgery before competing in the competition. The SpaceX founder is about to get an MRI on his neck and upper back. 

The results of the scans are expected by the end of this week. Depending on the outcomes, a date for the final exhibition showdown between the tech millionaires can be set. 

“Exact date is still in flux. I’m getting an MRI of my neck & upper back tomorrow. May require surgery before the fight can happen. Will know this week,” posted Elon Musk on X while replying to Mark Zuckerberg’s claims of delay remarks. 

Musk has already started lifting weights to prep for the fight 

Am lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight. Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work.

On Sunday, the Tesla CEO announced that he has began lifting weights in preparation for the duel against the Meta CEO. “I’ve been lifting weights all day in preparation for the fight.” “I don’t have time to exercise, so I bring them to work,” Elon acknowledged. 

This elicited a comment from Mark Zuckerberg, who is a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. He reported that the Tesla owner had yet to confirm his proposed date. The Meta Platforms co-founder indicated that he wants the exhibition match to take place on August 26 and that he is ready to face Elon Musk.

“I’m ready today. I suggested Aug 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn’t confirmed. Not holding my breath. I love this sport and will continue competing with people who train no matter what happens here,” stated the Facebook CEO on his newly- launched social media application Threads.  

Initially, the concept of pitting internet billionaires against one other in UFC-style cage combat was dismissed as a farce. However, tensions between the rival parties swiftly grew, with verbal spats and taunting further adding fuel to the fire. 

Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have vowed that their conflict will soon become a reality. It’s just a matter of when. Notably, the proceeds from the competition’s streaming will be donated to a veteran’s charity.
