Zuckerberg suffers cruciate ligament rupture: no fight with Musk?
A potential cage fight between tech billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk is a long way off: Meta boss Zuckerberg has torn his ACL and will be out of action for months. "I tore my ACL while sparring and just had surgery to replace it," the 39-year-old posted on Instagram. He also posted a picture in which he can be seen in a hospital bed with his knee splinted.
Zuckerberg explained that he had wanted to train for a mixed martial arts fight in early 2024. "But that's a bit delayed now. But I'm still looking forward to fighting after my recovery." Mixed martial arts (MMA) combines different types of combat sports and martial arts such as kickboxing, Thai boxing and wrestling. Zuckerberg, who thanked the doctors and the team for their support, has recently been working regularly with martial arts trainers.
Musk knows "how to reach me"
Zuckerberg and Tesla boss Musk have repeatedly triggered speculation about a possible duel in the cage with posts on social media in recent months. Musk challenged Zuckerberg in June, who agreed.
After a few weeks of radio silence, the 52-year-old Musk then wrote in August that he would need to recover from shoulder surgery for a few months. Zuckerberg then expressed skepticism that there would still be a fight. If Musk ever seriously wants to get involved in an official event, "he knows how to reach me", said the Meta boss. Until then, he will compete with people "who take the sport seriously". Zuckerberg himself will now have to take a break for a few months.
