Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t think his fight with Elon Musk will ever happen.“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Zuckerberg, 39, wrote via Threads on Sunday, August 13. “I offered a real date. [UFC President] Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity.”The Facebook founder went on to blame Musk, who owns X (formerly known as Twitter), for scheduling issues.“Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead,” Zuckerberg noted. “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.”The Meta owner seems to be bringing weeks of fight talk to an end.

Musk, 52, first challenged Zuckerberg in June.After Musk commented on a post claiming that Zuckerberg was looking to create a new platform to compete with Twitter (Meta launched Threads weeks later), a fellow user warned Musk to be “careful” around Zuckerberg, who has taken up jiu-jitsu as a hobby.
