The expected fight between the CEO of Meta and X that has gotten people talking online and even made some already take sides may not happen. Zuckerberg used his social media platform Threads, to write:
“I think we can all agree Elon is not serious, and it’s time to move on. I offer the actual date. Dana White offered to make this a legitimate contest for charity. Elon wouldn’t confirm a date, then said he needed surgery, and now asked to do practice rounds in my backyard.”
He insists that if the 52-year-old gets serious about the event, “he knows how to contact me.” In conclusion, the co-founder of the “Chan Zuckerberg Initiative” added, “If not, time to move on. I will focus on competing with people who take this sport seriously.”
A spectrum of reactions appeared below the post, from disappointment to intrigue, with comments such as, “So we’re not going to be treated?” and “Dang. Really looking forward to it.”
