Within just under an hour, Musk’s post garnered over 3.1 million views and counting, generating immense excitement among users. Many inquired about the scheduled date for the fight, while others posted teaser trailers in anticipation. Some enthusiasts expressed their unwavering commitment to attending the event, with one user stating, “I will be there no matter what!” and another declaring, “Cancelling all plans for this!!!”.

Responding to queries about the purpose of the fight, Musk characterized it as a “civilized form of war,” stating that “Men love war.” The playful banter between Musk and Zuckerberg began in June when the latter accepted Musk’s challenge for a cage fight with a cheeky “send me location” caption.

Interestingly, Musk’s parody account suggested that the winner of the fight would gain ownership of the rival’s social media platform for 24 hours. If Musk were to triumph, he would take control of Zuckerberg’s platform, and vice versa.

Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work.

Adding to the anticipation, MMA legend George St Pierre (GSP) revealed in an interview that he has been training Elon Musk, praising Musk’s strength and judo background. Musk was previously seen training with prominent podcast host Lex Friedman.
