It’s the boxing match that slipped away from Ibai, the fratricidal battle nobody asked for, the duel between two tech magnates that could end with one of the world’s richest individuals kissing the canvas after a solid uppercut from their opponent. Well, at least it is in our imagination, because in real life, it seems Elon Musk is trying to wriggle out of the fight with Mark Zuckerberg after realizing that the Meta founder has some free time (and enough trainers) to prepare thoroughly and deliver a beating.

After boldly stating that Twitter (well, X, but you get the idea) would broadcast the match, he started complaining about neck discomfort. In fact, he mentioned that he might need surgery, so darn it, they would have to postpone the fight. Oh, what a shame, I was so looking forward to it and now I can’t, darn it, cursed neck, ahem.
The next escape valve for his millionaire bluster has been found in the form of Chris Anderson, the director of TED (yes, the ones who organize the famous TED Talks), who suggested that instead of a fight, the showdown between the two should be a debate. Of course, in a ring, throwing words instead of punches. The topic: ‘How to Build an Amazing Future.’ If I can choose, I’d prefer to see Musk‘s bloody face on the ground, honestly.
But the founder of SpaceX and current CEO of Twitter has confirmed that a debate “also seems like a good idea. This is really fighting like (I believe) a noble sport. We also hope, with humility, to express our admiration for those who have fought before for noble causes.” A lot of talk for very little action, huh?
Will we see the debate between these two soon, or will we have to wait for the next Event of the Year? Will they really resist the urge to throw punches and sit down to discuss in a debate? For now, everything remains up in the air. And Zuck is quite muscular, by the way. It all influences.
