The fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has all the eyes on the billionaires. To hype up the event, Musk recently declared that the fight would be streamed on X and all the earnings would be donated to charity. However, a piece of unfortunate news also began circling at the same time.
An article claimed that Musk might have to undergo surgery to repair an issue in his upper back and neck. The news extracted a strong comment from Ben Askren. He took to Twitter and sent a reply, that the owner of Twitter (now X) might be getting cold feet. Not only ‘Funky’, but Zuckerberg was also disappointed by the fact that Musk hasn’t yet confirmed the date for their bout, even though he suggested one.
