Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg Fight Will Be Aired on X

VIVA – The duel between two tech giants, Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg will be aired on X or was formerly known as Twitter, according to the official X account of Elon Musk.
Musk also explained that all of the proceeds from the duel will be donated to military veterans.
"Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All Proceeds will go to charity for veterans," Musk wrote in a post-Sunday on the platform.
Then, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino reposted Musk's tweet with the comment that she was freeing up time on the calendar.
Meanwhile, on his Thredas social media account, Zuckerberg responded: "Shouldn't we use a more reliable platform that can raise money for charity?"
He added: “I’m ready today. I suggested Aug 26 when (Musk) first challenged, but he hasn’t confirmed. Not holding my breath.”
Since Musk’s takeover of Twitter in October 2022, policy pivots, technical issues, and the platform’s stance on harassment and hate speech have given many users whiplash. When Threads was released, some saw it as a viable alternative that might unseat its rival, and the app saw enormous initial success.
A lawyer representing Twitter even threatened a lawsuit over Threads.
