Elon Musk Says He's Still Down To Fight Mark Zuckerberg, But Few Appear To Believe Him This Time Around
Elon Musk has stated he's still down to fight Mark Zuckerberg "any time, any place, any rules" after giving a brief comment during his visit to the Capitol yesterday.

Way back in June 2023, prior to Musk cementing at the top of headlines for his various high-profile controversies rather than his accomplishments, the now-X CEO said he would be down for a "cage match" with now-Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
This didn't happen for various reasons, which may include Musk stipulating that he wanted the fight to take place in ancient Rome and his mom saying the fight was canceled.
Whatever the case, buzz about the fight was chalked up by some as yet another promise Elon Musk didn't keep, such as his claims he would help humanity colonize Mars and invent a "robotaxi." However, yesterday he claimed he was still up for it, though it appears not many believe his renewed challenge to Zuck is genuine.
Among those who doubt the challenge is Zuckerberg himself, who posted on Threads, "Are we really doing this again?"
Mark Zuckerberg has spent much of the past year getting buffer and, frankly, hotter in the eyes of many over the past year, and the same can not be said of Musk, who in the past 12 months has gone viral multiple times for his physique.
Thus, while Musk seems to be back to talking a big game, not many are holding their breath for the fabled Zuckermusk fight to happen.

Ya, I highly doubt this asshole would willingly throw himself into a fight AND actually think he could win said fight.

Imagine going a decade into the past and telling people that Mark Zuckerberg has a better reputation than Elon Musk.

The barbeque sauce thing shows that if you lean into the memes people make about you, you can actually come out of it pretty likeable. If Elon ever had a shred of self-awareness, he cast it off long ago.
