Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and CEO of Facebook, has taken to social media to express his frustration with Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, over their highly anticipated boxing match. Zuckerberg announced on Sunday that he is no longer willing to wait for Musk to commit to a date and venue for the boxing match, accusing Musk of not taking the sport seriously.
According to Zuckerberg, his decision to move on from the planning process came after Musk continuously made excuses to postpone the match. Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post, “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on. 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.”
One of Musk’s latest proposals, which caught Zuckerberg by surprise, was the suggestion of having a practice round in Zuckerberg’s backyard. This suggestion raised eyebrows as it seemed unusual and perhaps undermined the seriousness of the event. Zuckerberg commented further on this, stating, “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 has been teasing his frustration with Musk for some time now, consistently rejecting Musk’s statements and implying that Musk has been purposely stalling the process. Despite Musk’s recent attempt to generate excitement by suggesting Italy as a potential venue, it appears that Zuckerberg is throwing cold water on the whole idea, calling it out for what he believes it is: a bluff.
While the Zuckerberg vs. Musk boxing match was an exciting prospect for many, it remains uncertain whether Zuckerberg’s decision to pull the plug will compel Musk to commit. Only time will tell if Musk will step up and take the match seriously, or if the whole event will simply fade away.
Mark Zuckerberg has grown tired of waiting for Elon Musk to demonstrate a genuine interest in the boxing match between the two tech giants. Frustrated by Musk’s continuous excuses and lack of commitment, Zuckerberg has chosen to move on and focus on competing with individuals who take the sport seriously. While the dream of a Zuckerberg vs. Musk boxing match may have captured the imagination of many, its fate now hangs in the balance. Will Musk rise to the challenge, or will it all end with Zuckerberg’s resignation? Only time will tell.
