Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg has said he is “not holding his breath” over a proposed cage fight with rival Elon Musk.

In a post on the new social media app Threads, Mr Zuckerberg said he had proposed 26 August for the showdown.

Following a post on X in which Mr Musk claimed he was training “throughout the day”, Mr Zuckerberg wrote: “I’m ready today… but he hasn’t confirmed.”

The two became direct competitors in July with the launch of Threads.

Asked by a Threads user whether the fight had been mutually agreed upon, Mr Zuckerberg responded that is was more like “funding secured,” in an apparent reference to posts made by Mr Musk in 2018 when he said the same about plans to take electric car company Tesla into private hands.
