During the past few days, the coveted news of a cage fight between the billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg ruled the world of combat sports. With the involvement of a number of noted combat sports personalities, including the UFC boss, Dana White. The news further caused a frenzy in the combat sports community. It won’t be wrong to say that a huge number of people outside the combat sports community had also picked their sides and were awaiting the bout eagerly.
However, looking at the combat sports background of both billionaire competitors, numerous fans might say that this was a thorough mismatch. The Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, had showcased his prowess in combat sports multiple times, also winning a California-based Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament recently. But, even though Musk had also trained in martial arts, it has been almost four decades since when he took them. In such a situation, most fans might say that ‘Zuck’ has a healthy advantage over Musk.

But the fans awaiting this bout were subjected to a large shock a few hours back. Some reports emerged, stating that the bout had been put in jeopardy now. Still, the entire issue causing this stir-up was unclear to most of the eager fans. So let’s dive right in to know what is the actual reason behind the possible cancellation of this fight between the billionaires.
Is Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg canceled?
As mentioned earlier, the entire fight is currently in jeopardy. Hence, nothing can be documented about whether it will finally materialize or not. As most fans know, talks of the bout started off as Musk took a jibe at Zuckerberg’s new venture called ‘Threads’. Following that, a fan asked him to be cautious since ‘Zuck’ was trained in BJJ and other combat sports disciplines as well. But, the nonchalant ‘SpaceX CEO’ challenged him to a “cage fight” instead of taking verbal precautions.
The fight got almost confirmed when Zuckerberg agreed to it with an Instagram story on his account. He repeated the famous Khabib Nurmagomedov catchphrase to accept his rival’s callout, stating, “Send me location”. ‘Zuck’s’ confirmation got the media houses into action, as most of them started covering this hugely popular story.
But, the tremendous amount of coverage of this fight between the billionaires took a toll on it. The Twitter CEO’s mother also received information about her son agreeing to compete in a cage fight. It caused her motherly emotions to take over as she expressed her opinion in favor of the cancellation of this touted bout.
What statement did Elon Musk’s mother Maye Musk make?
It’s quite understandable that no mother would ever want her son to get into a fight. Although there are fighters who step into the cage willingly, most of them endure the pain to earn their livelihoods. Now, after looking at Elon’s billion-dollars in the bank, his mother, Maye Musk, frankly didn’t see any point in his beloved son agreeing to an affair that can subject him to some severe amount of pain.
A few days back, Maye Musk took to her Twitter and wrote, “And now the fight has been canceled. Great relief!”. Although there had been no official word from either Elon or Zuckerberg regarding the same, still Elon’s mother had started campaigning on Twitter that the fight had been canceled.

This tweet from Maye Musk is the actual source of all the reporting related to the cancellation of this billion-dollar bout. Despite the lack of any official confirmation to date, Maye Musk’s words might turn out to be true as well.
Most of the fans would agree that it’s really hard for any son to deny his mother’s words. Hence, it’s quite understandable that there is a massive possibility for the ‘SpaceX CEO’ to give up his thoughts of the “cage fight” according to his mother’s wish.
Elon Musk’s mother proposes new fight stipulations
It may be said that Maye Musk had an eye towards the fans as well, who had expected this clash of the tech world titans. After expressing her opinion in favor of getting her son’s “cage fight” canceled, Elon Musk’s mother also proposed her own idea to get a new type of fight organized between the two. Taking to her Twitter once again, she wrote, “A verbal fight only. Three questions each. The funniest answers win. Who agrees?“.
