Billionaire Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk may square off against Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) chief Mark Zuckerberg in a cage fight as soon as late August, as talks about a potential match have progressed.
The two billionaires were originally considering the fall for a match, though it could now be as soon as late August, CNBC's David Faber said on Monday.
Over the past 10 days, Musk, 52, and Zuckerberg, 39, have been negotiating and are getting closer to an agreement for a fight, the New York Times reported on Saturday, citing Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The tech giants have agreed that the match should have a charity component.
The reports come after Musk said last month that he would be "up for a cage fight" against Zuckerberg after making sarcastic comments about Meta's forthcoming Twitter competitor. In a post to his Instagram story account, Zuckerberg wrote, "Send me location."
