Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms Inc., has expressed that it’s time to move on from the speculation surrounding a potential cage fight match between himself and Elon Musk. Zuckerberg stated that Elon Musk’s intentions don’t seem serious and that he offered a genuine date for the event.

In response to Zuckerberg’s remarks, Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) and playfully referred to him as a “chicken.”
