Chan replied, “Yes, I saw it.” Then, the 39-year-old billionaire declared, “It looks awesome.” However, Mrs. Zuckerberg was not impressed, responding, “Mark.”

The Meta CEO exclaimed, “We have plenty of yard space!” before Priscilla said, “I have been working on that grass for two years.” Meanwhile, Elon Musk has also been alluding to his strength since he challenged Zuckerberg.

The X owner shared a strange live video where he checked his appearance in front of colleagues. Musk seemed unsure he was streaming, so he asked the room for confirmation.

The Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg fight excited the Internet, but some doubt it will happen. MMA expert Somesh Kamra shared that sentiment with Republic World.

“It’s more of a business strategy,” the fighting expert said. “I don’t think both are going to fight. Prima facie, I don’t think they are going to compete.”

“I don’t think they are physically going to fight in the Octagon. Both are not fighters. I believe there is some business decision that is coming through for the UFC, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerburg.”

White added, “I am assuming this is a prep-up to UFC 300, and there is some AI technology or virtual reality video game or something that would come that would be revealed at UFC 300.”

“I am assuming it could also be some new technology where for the EA Sports UFC game, there may be some AI or virtual reality, and Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk may fight, but that’s going to be in the video game, they are not going to physically fight.”

“I think it’s going to be interesting next 8-9 months for us till US 300 happens. They are going to unveil some new technology at UFC 300 that is going to raise eyebrows, and it will be Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk, but it will be in the video game.”

On the other hand, UFC president Dana White has been hyping up the match. He told TMZ Sports, ‘I was talking to both Elon and Mark last night. Both guys are absolutely dead serious about this.”

“This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world. Bigger than anything that’s ever been done, it would break all pay-per-view records, these guys would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity.”
