    On today's episode of Real Billionaires of Social Media — Elon Musk declared the showdown with Mark Zuckerberg is definitely happening.

    In June, the 52-year-old Tesla CEO suggested he was "up for a cage match" with the 39-year-old Meta Platforms CEO, who then asked Elon to "send me location" for the fight.

    Elon suggested the "Vegas Octagon," which is the prime location for championship mixed martial arts fights, and that left fans concerned, seeing that Mark has actually trained and won medals for MMA fighting.

    Now, the King of Xeets has reassured the public that the cage match is still a thing despite their unmatched skills.

    "Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans," Elon wrote in a post on Aug. 6 without any additional information.

    In case you didn't think the Space X founder/CEO was still kidding, earlier, he mentioned he was "lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight," and since he's super busy, he brings the weights to work.

    Imagine living in a world where two people who basically control social media are using their knowledge, power, and wealth to — possibly tussle in an octagon like it's a 2001 episode of Celebrity Deathmatch?

    When an X subscriber asked Elon, "What is the point of the fight?" he responded, "It's a civilized form of war. Men love war."

    That's a normal answer.
