US tech billionaire Elon Musk has raised the impression that his plans for a cage match with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg might be decided this week.

“The exact date is still constantly changing,” he said this morning. “I will have an MRI of my neck and upper back tomorrow (Tuesday).”
“It may require surgery before the fight can happen,” Musk confirmed in his post, adding, “We will know this week.”
It is noteworthy that Musk was injured years ago during a Japanese wrestling game (sumo), and has been suffering from chronic back pain since then.

In response to a question regarding the purpose of the fight in general, Musk wrote last Saturday / Sunday night that it is “a civilized form of war. Men love war,” while Zuckerberg mentioned on “Threads” a few weeks ago that he loves martial arts, indicating that this The arts are “original” and allow him to express his competitive self.
