Elon Musk appears to be leaning into plans for a cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg and to stream it live. Musk wrote today on X, formerly Twitter, that the battle of the billionaires cage fight will be live-streamed on X. He wrote, "Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans." The owner of X, Tesla, and SpaceX and the Meta CEO agreed in June to settle their differences with a cage fight after Musk sounded off about Meta's plan to launch Threads, its version of a Twitter-like social media platform.
