“I suggested his home as a ‘safe space.’ Tragically, he was, ahem, ‘traveling.’ Is there anywhere he will fight?” Musk pondered.<\/p>\n
On Threads, Zuckerberg and Facebook’s newly launched Twitter rival, the Meta chair and CEO says Musk was never serious about the fight. And it’s time that he stops wasting time on the matter.<\/p>\n
\nI think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Zuckerberg wrote. “I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Zuck, however, isn’t fully canning the idea.<\/p>\n
“If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously,” Zuckerberg concluded.<\/p>\n
The exact fighting conditions were never determined, but Zuckerberg is experienced in jiujitsu, a family of Japanese martial arts.<\/p>\n
The fight rumor emerged after Zuckerberg launched Threads to compete with Musk’s Twitter. Zuckerberg said a “sane” person should control the world’s online town square.<\/strong><\/p>\nThat prompted Musk into joking that he’s “up for a cage match” if Zuckerberg is. The two have since been exchanging words and deflecting blame for the fight not being scheduled.<\/p>\n
Betting Downer<\/b><\/h2>\n Though the proceeds would have gone to charity, the proposed Musk vs. Zuck fight likely would have been a major betting event for sportsbooks. That’s should the Nevada Athletic Commission<\/a> have sanctioned the bout.<\/p>\n\n
Several US sportsbooks have dispatched hypothetical odds on the fight, but aren’t yet taking action. Zuckerberg remains the consensus favorite at -435. Those odds give Zuck about an 81% chance of winning. A $100 bet on that line would net just $23 should the fight happen and the Facebook titan prevails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Musk’s consensus odds are at +350, which is an implied chance of 22%. A winning $100 bet on that line would net $350.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
