Twitter owner Elon Musk labeled Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg a “chicken” after he raised the idea of moving on from the idea of their potential upcoming cage fight battle.
Musk commented on a post from Babylon Bee writer, Ashley St. Clair on X, formerly known as Twitter, in which Zuckerberg wrote on X-rival, Threads, that Musk wasn’t serious and that it was “time to move on.” The two tech moguls have been going back and forth with each other over plans for a cage fight.
“Zuck is a chicken,” Musk wrote in his post, taking aim at Zuckerberg’s post on Threads instead of X.

“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Zuckerberg wrote of their potential fight. “I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead.”
Zuckerberg noted that if Musk ever got “serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach” him.
“Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously,” Zuckerberg said.
On Friday, Musk teased that the fight between the two of them would happen in Rome, teasing a Gladiator-style fight.
