Musk Claims He May Need Surgery Before Zuck Match

The Associated Press reports:

Elon Musk says he may need to get surgery before a proposed “cage match” with Mark Zuckerberg. “I’m getting an MRI of my neck & upper back tomorrow,” Musk wrote Sunday night. “May require surgery before the fight can happen. Will know this week.”

Musk and Zuckerberg have continued to fuel interest in the potential match through online jabs at one another — most recently on Sunday, when Musk said the fight would be live-streamed on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.

Musk added that the fight’s proceeds would go to a charity for veterans. On his Threads social media account, Zuckerberg responded: “Shouldn’t we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?” In a follow-up post, Zuckerberg said he wasn’t “holding his breath” for a fight.
