However, on Sunday morning, Musk posted on X without providing further details. He stated, 'Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.

In his earlier post on Sunday, Musk also mentioned on X that he's been lifting weights throughout the day to prepare for the fight. He stated that he doesn't have time to exercise at home, so he brings his weights to work instead.

When a user on X asked about the purpose of the fight, Musk replied, explaining:  “It’s a civilized form of war. Men love war”.

Late on Sunday, Zuckerberg responded to Musk's challenge on his social media app Threads, stating, "I'm ready today. I suggested Aug. 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn't confirmed. Not holding my breath."
