Elon Musk offered more teasers about potentially fighting Mark Zuckerberg in a cage match fight.
Friday morning he posted a series of messages which detailed plans to take this fight to Rome and alluded to a Gladiatorial battle.
He said, “The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).”
In addition to pledging to live stream to X, as previously reported by IJR, he stated the event will also be streamed to Meta.
He then noted, “Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.”

He wrote, “Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?” which translates into modern vernacular as, “Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you just happy to see me?”
