In a surprising turn of events, the proposed cage fight between tech moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg continues to linger in the realm of speculation, with Zuckerberg suggesting that it might be time to move on.

Although both billionaires agreed to engage in a cage match several months ago, they have yet to solidify a date for the much-anticipated bout, casting doubt on whether the event will ever take place.

The verbal sparring took a new twist when Italy's culture minister mentioned talks with Musk about hosting the charity event in Italy with an "ancient Rome theme."

In response, Zuckerberg posted on his social media platform Threads, saying, "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."

Musk fired back on his platform X (formerly Twitter), calling Zuckerberg a "chicken" and posting a purported text message exchange between the two. Musk proposed a potential date and location for the fight, referencing Zuckerberg's home base in Palo Alto. However, he acknowledged the unlikely nature of the showdown due to their significant size difference and humorously suggested that Zuckerberg might possess hidden martial arts prowess.

The eccentric idea of a cage fight between Musk and Zuckerberg emerged in June, when Musk initially tweeted about being "up for a cage fight." Zuckerberg, known for his martial arts training and recent victories in jiu-jitsu tournaments, responded simply with "send me location."

As the saga continues, it remains uncertain whether these tech titans will ever step into the cage to settle their differences physically. The proposed event has garnered significant attention and media coverage, but its outcome remains uncertain, leaving their legions of followers eagerly awaiting further developments.
