Renowned tech moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg shocked the world by announcing they were taking their rivalry to a physical fight in the ring.
The highly anticipated Musk-Zuckerberg face-off will be streamed live on X (formerly Twitter), with all proceeds from the event going to a charity for veterans.
The friendly feud between the Tesla founder and the Meta (formerly Facebook) originator began in June when Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a "cage match," per CNBC.
Both tech moguls have been playfully taunting each other about the upcoming fight, with Musk calling it a "civilized form of war." When asked about the purpose of the bout, Elon Musk humorously remarked on his social media platform, "Men love war."
The details of the fight, including the location and date, have not been formally announced yet, but Musk's "Vegas octagon" suggestion seemed to draw Mark Zuckerberg's interest earlier.

Elon Musk released a weightlifting video Sunday morning. Despite not having time to work out, he wore gym attire to work to demonstrate his dedication to conditioning himself for the upcoming fight.
