Will drive a Tesla to Zuck's house, the fight is on, says Elon Musk; Meta CEO replies...

Billioniare Elon Musk, who last year acquired Twitter (now X), in a tweet, wrote he will drive his Tesla to Mark Zuckerberg's house in Palo Alto, California, and if the Meta CEO answers the door, the "fight is on", Musk wrote.

Tesla chief Musk took to X, the site formerly known as Twitter, to detail his latest plans to try and fight with the Facebook founder after Zuckerberg cancelled it saying that his rival was not serious about the bout.

“Knock, knock … challenge accepted … open the door @finkd,” tweeted Mr Musk on Monday.

And he added: “For the Tesla FSD test drive in Palo Alto tonight, I will ask the car to drive to @finkd’s house.

“Will also test latest X livestream video, so you can monitor our adventure in real-time! If we get lucky and Zuck...actually answers the door, the fight is on!”

He further wrote "Zuck thread coming soon about how he would of course love to fight anytime, but blah blah UFC something something."

But a spokesperson for Mr Zuckerberg says that Mr Musk’s journey would be pointless as the Meta boss was not even there.

In response to Elon Musk's tweet, Mark Zuckerberg's spokesperson said Mark is travelling right now and isn't in town. " Mark isn’t going to fight someone who randomly shows up at his house,” the spokesperson told The Verge.

“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Mr Zuckerberg wrote.

“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.

“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.”

Last week, Elon Musk said that he was in talks with Italy's government about hosting the cage fight at a historic site in the country. In a tweet, Musk clarified that the fight will be managed by his and Zuck's foundations and not Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), an American-based mixed martial arts promotion company.

Elon Musk wrote that the event will be live-streamed on Meta's Facebook and X for users who want to see the fight between the two billionaires.
