Twitter CEO and billionaire Elon Musk announced Friday that his fight with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg will be taking place at an “epic location.”
Until now, I thought a fistfight between Musk and Zuckerberg was a troll. But it turns out it seems like it’s a real thing, and Zuckerberg’s foundation is apparently paying for it, not the UFC, Musk tweeted Friday. “Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all,” he noted.
For whatever reason, Musk and Zuck want the entire thing to be Italian AF, even going so far as to speak to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her Ministry of Culture to ensure both billionaires get everything they need for their… fist fight… am I the only person who thinks this is kinda dumb?
Whatever. It’s clearly going to take place at Rome’s Colosseum, judging by Musk’s hints. And if it doesn’t, then what is the point of fighting in Italy?
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.

“Everything done will pay respect to the past and present of Italy,” Musk noted. “And all proceeds go to veterans,” he added. (RELATED: ‘One Of The Worst Downturns’: Mark Zuckerberg Blasts Biden’s Economy In Warning To Employees)
Personally, I don’t think this fight is ever going to happen. Musk has to undergo surgery on his shoulder so the blade stops rubbing against his ribs. The recovery will take a few months, he told his followers. But as there’s an election next year, Musk is running out of time to get himself in shape before the next major psyop drops and we’re locked inside again.
And if this fight does happen, I am genuinely scared that Zuckerberg might use it as an excuse to legitimately murder Musk in front of a global audience. That little nerd has crazy in his eyes.
