Sad news for fans of billionaires beating the paste out of one another. It looks like the Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk cage match isn\u2019t happening, according to exclusive audio heard by <\/ins>Reuters<\/ins><\/em>.<\/ins><\/a> In an audio recording exclusively provided to the publication, the surprisingly buff Zuckerberg told Meta employees at a company town hall that he\u2019s \u201cnot sure if it\u2019s going to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg\u2019s comments on the match occurred during a company-wide discussion regarding Meta\u2019s recently-launched Twitter rival, Threads, which has been stuttering a bit<\/ins><\/a> in the weeks since blasting onto the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Zuck didn\u2019t actually say the match is off, just that it remains unlikely. So keep that glass half full, fight fans. Musk, who loves the letter \u201cX\u201d more than most people love<\/ins><\/a> clean air, hasn\u2019t issued a response, but given Zuckerberg\u2019s recent penchant for jiu jitsu, he could be relieved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cage fight was supposed to be a glitzy Las Vegas affair,<\/ins><\/a> with the pair of billionaires dancing around the topics of date and venue for the past month or so. Zuckerberg has seemed pretty serious about the fight from the get-go, and Musk eventually relented, tweeting (x-ing?) that he was \u201cup for a cage match\u201d if the Meta CEO was. Musk also said he has this \u201cgreat move\u201d called “the walrus” where he lays on top of opponents and does nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zuck certainly seemed ready to take on the challenge, according to trainer and MMA legend Alex Volkanovsky.<\/a> And though he generally treated the whole thing as a joke, Musk did sort of prepare for the fight by accepting a training offer from UFC champ Georges St-Pierre and sparring with podcaster Lex Fridman.<\/a> Of course, that’s when he’s taking a break from retweeting (re-xing?) hateful anti-trans content<\/a> and changing the site’s rules to allow for misgendering.<\/a> Dana White, president of the UFC, has also told reporters that the organization was ready to assist with the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
