Errol, from his hometown, in South Africa, said, “Elon hurt himself skiing a while back. He fell at speed. It was quite long ago. I was just told ‘he’s OK.” He added, “I decided we’d try snow skiing and went to a ski school near the Stubai Glacier in Austria. It was hard to learn but in the end, Elon won at least three first prizes. We continued skiing elsewhere, particularly Canada at Mount Whistler.” Similarly, last Monday, Elon announced that he plans to undergo an MRI of the neck and upper back soon, with potential surgery if required.

New update on the showdown!

After this news, fans are disappointed. The date for the clash has still not been officially declared. It was originally set to take place in Italy, as per Musk’s announcement from his tweet. Additionally, the nature of the contest, whether it’s indeed a ‘cage fight,’ remains undisclosed. Following all of this, 52-year-old Musk unveiled unique event management plans, diverging from UFC to be handled by both his and Zuckerberg’s foundations, as stated in his new tweet.

Meanwhile, Mark left fans in a frenzy when he added his thoughts to the threads. He posted, “I love this sport and I’ve been ready to fight since the day Elon challenged me, if he ever agrees on an actual date, you’ll hear it from me. Until then, please assume anything he says has not been agreed on.”

The intense training journeys of the duo also come to the forefront. A recent Instagram post by Zuckerberg showcased his preparation alongside world-class UFC fighters, while Musk’s training with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt Lex Fridman is captured in photos. In a nutshell, even the great showdown faces unforeseen battles. Let’s see what the future holds.
