‘Knock knock, challenge accepted, open the door’: Musk says he’s going to show up at Zuckerberg’s house to fightMark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk
SUMMARY
  • Musk declared that he will make an unannounced visit to Zuckerberg's residence
  • Musk previously hinted a possible fight in Rome, which the Italian government promptly refuted
  • Zuckerberg has said he has "moved on" due to Musk's inability to accept and confirm fight details

The proposed cage match between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk has now reached an even higher level of absurdity. Since Zuckerberg announced that the fight has been officially cancelled, Musk has come up with a new plan. He has declared that he will make an unannounced visit to Zuckerberg's residence.

In a recent post on the platform formerly known as Twitter (now referred to as X), Musk stated, "Knock, knock … challenge accepted … open the door. Thought you might want some tea, so I brought the bags.”

In another tweet right after, Musk said, ”For the Tesla FSD test drive in Palo Alto tonight, I will ask the car to drive to @finkd’s house. Will also test latest X livestream video, so you can monitor our adventure in real-time! If we get lucky and Zuck my 👅 actually answers the door, the fight is on!”

Zuckerberg, who had been training and participating in jiujitsu tournaments, had initially agreed to the cage match proposal. However, he eventually withdrew from the idea due to Musk's lack of commitment to a specific date.

Musk then hinted at a possible fight in Rome, independent of the UFC, but the Italian government promptly refuted this claim. Zuckerberg was insistent on organising the fight professionally.

Expressing his frustration, Zuckerberg messaged Musk saying, “I don’t want to keep hyping something that will never happen, so you should either decide you’re going to do this and do it soon, or we should move on.” This message was, of course, shared by Musk online. Subsequently, Musk suggested a new idea: a fight in Zuckerberg's own backyard. He playfully taunted Zuckerberg by saying, "Perhaps you possess the skills of a modern-day Bruce Lee and might miraculously emerge victorious."
